I am looking for jelly roll size cuts (2 1/2 in x WOF) of certain fabrics so that I can make a pattern with only a few different colors.. not a huge variety which usually comes in a jelly roll. Do any of you know of a website where you can order the fabric this way or have any suggestions for me? I do such a terrible job cutting jelly rolls they are never straight and I end up frustrated. TIA!

I have a shapemaker by June Taylor It is useful for cutting mutiple strips of the same yardage.

Wow that looks awesome!! thank you so much for sharing. Definitely cheaper than the accuquilt cutter hehe. :) I will be purchasing this right away. I still dont have a whole lot of tools or know about all the nifty tricks so I appreciate this very much. :) :)

That was a great video. I have the accuquilt go cutter and I think I have to get this shape maker by June Taylor!

You can build your own jelly rolls here: http://www.jellyrolls2go.com/buildaroll.html
I haven't done so yet, but maybe someone else here can comment. |
Oh yes, most all quilt shops sell some of them. Even can get them on ebay, sometimes at great prices.

First, I have the Shape Cut ruler, and it's absolutely my favorite tool! I use it on every single quilt I make--well worth the price! I think they also make one with 1/4" cuts, too.
That site where you can choose your own fabrics and make your own jelly roll is fabulous! I'll be ordering from there for sure! What a great idea! |
I learn something new everyday!!!! I bought the shape cutter a couple years ago when I made my first fringed fleece blankets. I made 2 blankets and never used it again. I will definitely be getting it out and using it now!!!

I have this ruler and if you watch the other video for the fancy cut ruler, I have that one too. Thank you for the links to the videos, I thought I could only cut strips and didn't quite know how to use the other ruler. Thanks a bunch
