Dumb Question here.. What is a jelly Roll..
#32
The best part of using precuts, like jelly rolls, honey buns, turnovers, charm paks and layer cakes is that all the fabrics in them are from the same fabric line, so they all coordinate. Just add one of the fabrics by the yard and your project is automatically one where all the colours and patterns work together.
Just remember to shake the daylights out of them before you start using them to get rid of all the edge lint, just hold the whole pak and shake it until the 'dandruff' stops. :)

Charm packs 5" X 5" are usually sold by fabric manufacturer's (but not always)
But for us old timer quilters, a nickel squares are still 5" X 5" whenever we share...and there are even a couple books/patterns that call for nickel squares...
Also forgot "crumbs" everything smaller than 1" x 1" when not a "string" lol

You can also get a lot of stretching when you press seams on a stripped piece. Say you have sewn three strips together, alternating the direction of your seams...and then you take it to your ironing board and you lay the whole piece down horizontally...of course so it fits on the ironing board all at once. But you do a dis-service to yourself...because most people really iron...pressing hard and not lifting the iron up & down....so they iron back and forth - back and forth along the seams....And when they pick it up, it looks like a rainbow. Try placing the sewn piece vertically on your ironing board and lifting the iron up and down - up and down - up and down as you "press"...
What a difference this can make in your sewn seams for a newbie. Good luck and never be afraid to ask....you will get a lot of wonderful information on this board!
