Thank you so much, you are the only one I have found that shows the actual beginning and ending, and that's what we beginners need to know, you made it look so easy ty
I just wanted to say thank you for a detailed video as I just couldn’t figure out how to start my rug! After watching you for like 25 times, I think I finally got it and I’m well on my way! 😊
Hi. I enjoyed your video. I’m struggling with my very first rug. I’ve been going very slow; using walking foot and jeans needle and pressing/stream/starch the heck out of it. I have Brother Runway special edition. I really want to get good at this since I’m planning on making these for Christmas presents. Any encouragement would be appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Laurie! Thanks for watching the video. I know that the first rug can feel like a bit of a beast, but it sounds like you're on the right track. Just keep doing what you're doing!
I am making a rug and when you would sew the fabric and batting together to make a rope to sew to the rug, I am eliminating sewing that process and just sew it directly to my rug Is there a problem with this? I appreciate your opinion. Thanks
Well, I suppose you could. It would probably require more managing of the "rope" possibly with clips. I'd imagine you'd have to be even more certain that the zig-zag stitch is crossing between the two sides. And I could see this affecting how flat the rug will be at the end. I've never skipped this step in the process so this is just an educated guess. Please let me know if you attempt it and how it turns out!
I am in the process of using this method and it seems to be working out well. I have not had any waves and so far the rug is lying flat. Would send you a picture of you like.
Having the in-set table, or using some type of platform around the bed of the machine definitely helps. I also tell my students to PRESS, PRESS, PRESS!!! I press after every circle or so; and I use a lot of steam and Best Press.
I don't. I originally made this video for a class I thought that ran long. The next time I make a rug though, I'll make a quick video and comment back here.
Hi Elaine! So without seeing your rug, I'll throw out a couple of common issues and hope it helps. First, if you're not using a walking foot (and your machine has one), I strongly suggest using it. Often waviness is caused by uneven movement of the fabric. If your curves are fine, but the sides are wavy, then try gently pulling the rope/cord taunt at the sides. Think of it as light elastic and pull a little. That way you're not adding excess cord to the rug. And lastly, the iron is your best friend in this project. Turn it on high, and crank up that stream. The more you press, the flatter the rug will be. Pressing is essential especially if you're having waves. I hope this helps. Good luck!
There may be a translation problem here so I hope this answers your question. The term "jelly roll" is a title created by Moda Fabrics for their 2.5 inch strip sets. There's usually 40 to 42 strips, that are then rolled up and packaged. It's still quilters cotton fabric.

How do you make it so it will stay flat
Having the in-set table, or using some type of platform around the bed of the machine definitely helps. I also tell my students to PRESS, PRESS, PRESS!!! I press after every circle or so; and I use a lot of steam and Best Press.
Do you have a video on how to make the strips (the ball ) ?
I don't. I originally made this video for a class I thought that ran long. The next time I make a rug though, I'll make a quick video and comment back here.
My corners are good but my straight sides get a wavey. Can you tell me what i am doing wrong and how to. Correct it
Thank you

And how many jelly rolls do you buy for each rug ?
One jelly roll will make the regular pattern. There's a double jelly roll pattern too, and it's really big.
Perché chiamate il tessuto gelatina.Che tipo di tessuto è
