Jelly roll rug?
 

Has anyone done this? I just watched a video on YouTube by Jordan fabrics.......first my touchy BL would not take the bulk of those strops! Second: is it really worth all the work? I wonder how the sewing thread would take the wear and tear...... Like she said at the end...placemats, trivets, tablerunner might e more practical.....btw...I have a no touchy Viking and singer!

I just got the pattern from Etsy. It's not the oval one- it's rectangular. Wish me luck!!
Coincidentally, I got that email this morning from Jordan's. I plan to watch it later.

For some reason I can't access the Jordan video. It's a blank screen

I just saw one of these on a shop hop to Nashville. The shop was selling what looked like jelly rolls of batting to use in them. I didn't investigate further but the sample rug they made was beautiful. It reminded me of the rope baskets but flat. I too wondered if it would wash.

I made one. Have it beside my bed. Call it my prayer rug! My husband loves it, too. I bought a jelly roll on sale from Craftsy for under $15. Used leftover batting. Want to make more. Several other ladies tried making one and had problems with them turning into a bowl.

Thanks for the link. I have been thinking about making one.

Our sewing club instructor had a demo on it and hers came out curvy too; the trick she discovered is to NOT pull or push it but let the machine do the work; otherwise it will get curvy. I have the pattern to make one too.

I guess these are the newest "big thing" right now huh? I just watched a different video on YouTube, and there is a somewhat ... shall we say... spirited discussion going on about whether the pattern can be copyrighted. Actually it seems just like the coiled fabric bowls I have made in the past, just keeping it flat instead of tilting the roll so that it forms into a shape. And some enterprising company (Bosal, I believe) has started selling the rolls of 2.5" batting so that you can make them with jelly rolls. My local shop has also scheduled a class on the rugs. Funny how must-have items and newly-discovered techniques just keep circling around and around.... :)
