Jelly Roll Rug Class

Making a jelly roll rug is a fun project that involves sewing strips of fabric (typically from a jelly roll, which is a collection of pre-cut fabric strips) to create a unique and colorful rug. Here's a general guide to help you make your own jelly roll rug:

Materials Needed:

• Jelly Roll (or about 40-45 fabric strips, typically 2.5 inches wide and 44 inches long)
• Batting (about 2 yards of 2.5" wide cotton batting or use batting strips)
• Quilting Thread (for sewing)
• Sewing Machine (with a walking foot)
• Rotary Cutter (optional, but helpful)
• Ruler (for cutting)
• Fabric for backing (if you want to add a backing)
• Scissors

Please have your strips cut and starched before the start of class 

Tips:

• Walking Foot: A walking foot is essential for sewing through thick layers, like fabric and batting.
• Batting Choices: You can choose cotton batting for a softer feel or polyester for a sturdier rug.
• Color Combinations: Jelly rolls come in many different color schemes. You can mix and match or use a single color palette for a more uniform look.

Making a jelly roll rug is a great way to use up fabric scraps, and it results in a beautiful, functional item for your home!
