How to Sew Jelly Braid Paper

How Far Just One Jelly Roll Can Take You

Kimberly wanted to put the Jelly Braid Paper to the ultimate test, so she and our Stitchy Staffer, Teresa, teamed up to tease out the answer of just how far one Jelly Roll can go! Kimberly took the 9″ paper, and Teresa took the 5″ paper. Then, they each got one Sunbonnet Jelly Roll and went to work. Here are the final results:

One Jelly Roll sewn with the 9″ Jelly Braid Paper makes 15′ 10″ of braided bounty!

One Jelly Roll sewn with the 5″ Jelly Braid Paper makes 28′ 9″ of pretty plaiting!
