Quilted Center Jelly Roll Rug or Placemat

Make your very own placemat set or rug out of 2.5" strips of fabric or a jelly roll precut! If your machine can do a zig-zag stitch, you can make placemats or a rug!

Supplies
(Makes 4 placemats or one rug)
-Jelly Roll Rug Pattern
-One "Jelly Roll" OR 40 strips of fabric cut at 2.5" wide by width-of-fabric minus selvedge, about 42" long
- Fabric for your quilted center (round or oval works well, for squares and rectangles, you need rounded corners. Any reasonably small size will work! Think fat quarter size or smaller. Our shop sample has fussy cut cupcakes in an oval measuring approximately 5"x10")
- Three layers of low loft cotton batting the same size as your quilted center fabric. (example - for a rug with a 5x10" center, you would need at least 15x10" of batting.)
-1 1/4yds 100% cotton batting 96" wide cut into 2.25" strips OR a pre-cut jelly roll rug batting 2.25" (no scrim, no glue)
-Size 100/16 jeans sewing machine needle
-One large spool of thread, at least 1200yds, polyester
-Fabric Tube Maker by Clover (Other brands do not work)
-Straight pins, clips, or both if you have both (Clips are good for tube making and pins are good for assembly)
-Walking foot if you have one will be very helpful!
-Mary Ellen's best press is beneficial
-A basket or bin to catch the tubing in as it exits the back of your machine and off the table
-Sewing machine extension table if you have one! We will provide carboard to use as a "table" if you don't have one - you will need the flat space!
-You will need a sewing machine that will make at least a 5mm wide zig-zag stitch.

Optional:
A pressing mat and small iron will be helpful as the classroom only has 2 full sized ironing boards to share.
