I am about to try using the jelly rolls for the first time and I think you just saved me a whole lot of frustration. Thanks for passing this tip on to us.

Jelly rolls are so fun to use. I even use a lot of NOrthcott and Moda as well as Hoffman and will use this for all of them. Not all have variations but when you are sewing a pattern, you don't want any surprises. I hate to be froggie and have to rippit, rippit,, it. LOL.

Would you accept WOF that was 41 when advertised as 42?

I for one am willing to put up with minor variations if it helps others attain a decent standard of living :thumbup:

Alas and Alack! I thought this method would be very helpful , and probably will be when I get it. The fabric starts out straight, but about 6 inches into the strip, off it veers to the right. Any suggestions other than practice? Thanks
