To kick off the Holly Jolly Sew Along we first need to know about using a Jelly roll.

**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.
