Using a Jelly Roll, batting, and a sewing machine with a zigzag stitch, you can create this 30″ x 40″ rug. There’s a sample in the shop that you have to see as you’ll be amazed at the texture or even that it originated from a Jelly Roll.

The shop sample uses just half a pack so you can even make a larger one, if you’d like. Or start with the smaller one, learn the technique in class, and make a larger one on your own.

If your sewing machine doesn’t have a zigzag stitch, no problem; you can rent one of our Janome machines.

The Jelly Roll Rug class is a lot of fun and you will be able to complete one rug in 2 days. This rug looks great in any room of your house; it also makes a great gift for a baby or wedding shower.
