Secondly what are jelly rolls packaged for size wise? I'm asking if I buy a jelly roll is it enough for a quilt top if so what size? Do I need more that one for a quilt? Are they all the same or does it change?
Thanks alot

My acrylic tables are machine specific, but there are tables now that can be adapted for different machines. I don't remember how much they cost as I purchased them at the dealer.
Jelly rolls are usually around 42 strips 2 1/2" wide. Be careful to read the labels, especially if they are cut by individuals or LQS. ebay sometimes only has 10 or 12 strips on up...
It depends on the size of quilt and the pattern you use. You should be able to easily make a lap, or maybe even a twin. Most Full, Queen, and King I would need more than one.
