Frequently Asked Questions
- What does pre-cut width actually save?
- The worst cutting job in quilting — slicing dozens of accurate 2.5" strips from a wide batting roll is slow and drifts off-grain. The pre-cut roll deletes that step and keeps every strip identical.
- The jelly roll rug connection?
- The technique that made this product — fabric strips wrapped around batting strip, coiled, and zigzagged into a rug. One rug consumes serious yardage, which is what the 50-yard length is for.
- Why scrim on a narrow strip?
- Integrity — an unscrimmed 2.5" cotton strip stretches and breaks under wrapping tension; the scrim carries the stress so the strip survives coiling and sewing.
- 50 or 25 yards?
- Project count — one rug or a QAYG throw fits in 25; rug makers and repeat producers take the 50 at better per-yard cost.
- Quilt-as-you-go fit?
- Standard QAYG strip methods run on 2.5" batting — this roll feeds them without any prep cutting.
