Frequently Asked Questions
Is 50 yards enough for a jelly roll rug?
Yes — the classic oval jelly roll rug pattern calls for roughly 50 yards of 2.5" batting strips, so this roll covers a full rug without piecing multiple rolls.
Why does the scrim matter?
The needle-punched scrim gives the strip tensile strength, so it won't stretch, bunch, or beard as you wrap, coil, and sew — exactly what rug and bowl construction demands.
What else can I use 2.5" batting strips for?
Padded bag straps and handles, coiled rope bowls and baskets, trivets, and quilt-as-you-go strip projects — anywhere you'd otherwise cut batting into strips by hand.
