If you've bought a jelly roll and found that it was NOT cut straight, would you mind posting who the manufacturer was?
Or, if your jelly roll WAS cut straight, let us know who made that one as well!
It would be nice to know if certain brands are consistently better - or more troublesome.

i have not yet bought any, cause a friend who bought two Modas at high prices had problems with them rippling AND not being on the grain.....
I have been contemplating some for a strip quilt border---since those will be used as short pieces hopefully there will be no problems

I think most/all of the Jelly Rolls I've used are from Moda. Some were
straight and some were not all straight. Sometimes there are a few miss
but it doesn't really bother me as I work my way out of this. I usually cut
the JR in half for easy handling and starching. I try to match a bad cut with
a good one and use the good one as a guideline for piecing. It works most
of the time. If the cut is off by 1/4" or so then we have a problem and I
would just discard the ugly "V". It doesn't happen very often and I can
usually work with the rest of the strip. Hope this helps those who have
trouble working with JR. :-)
