**Top 3 tips for Using Jelly rolls! **

A Jelly roll precut that is normally a set of 40 strips. The strips are normally all from one fabric line.

You do need to verify by reading what you are buying as some shops cut their own special sets that are not a fabric line, some cut petite, or JR jelly rolls which are less strips.

***My Daily Video! ***

My video has the details on my 3 tips and i have them listed below.

Then In my video I test out washing and starching of strips but have more tips from readers like you, they are good ones!

Tip 2:

Measure the width to be sure it is 2.5

Have something you can hang strips on. Either a drying rack or hanger, in my video i give more details why this is my 3rd tip
