How to Make a Jelly Roll Rug

Step 1:

Take two strips from your roll. Place one horizontally right side up, then the other one on top vertically on the end of the first strip, right side down. Sew in a diagonal from left to right. Trim 1/4″ away from the seam.

Step 2:

Repeat step 1 for the remaining strips to make a very long strip.

Step 3:

Lay the batting on top of your sewn strip. Fold in half lengthwise, then sew on the side. Keep on sewing until you reach the end of the strip.

Step 4:

Set your machine to a zigzag. It should be as wide as possible. Fold the strip how long as you want the center to be, then sew them together. Keep sewing all the way around it to make the rug. Don’t stretch the strip as you sew. Be sure to iron every 3 to 4 rows to prevent waving and rippling of the rug.
