Hi. Your day sounds lovely 🥰 Thank you for watching!

I had the darndest problem with skipped stitches until I shortened my stitch length and width. I found that 6.0 width and 1.5 length did not skip. I also found that the walking foot sometimes caused issues so used the zigzag foot. It fed through the machine fine. I have an Elna EF72 machine. Also agree 21/4 inch batting is best, found on Amazon in 50 ft length, just enough for a jelly roll. And I found the Clover Fabric Tube maker is a game changer, it folds the batting and jelly roll twice, once in the middle and then in half and all you need to do is sew. No more wonder clipping! Not to dis Wonder Clips, I love them as well. Thanks for the great tutorial.

One comment to add. Make sure you clean the fluff out of your machine before abd after sewing the tube. My bobbin got hung up and it was due to the amount of fluff in the bobbin case. I was using hand cut batting. Will use bosal next time and hopefully will not have as much fluff. I'm goiing to use Christmas fabric and sew candle mats. Thanks for posting this excellant tutoeial

Skipped stitches are a sign of a new needle, as you may have a burr on the needle you are using, you can tell if a new needle is needed as the sound of stitching will be different! (It sounded to me while you were stitching the length of the strip, that I could hear the burr on the needle).

Quilt math makes me nervous !😥

The original pattern shows how to start your rug neatly with some pinning. Your piece looks a bit thin, possibly you didn't use the correct batting. I agree with another comment that it is important to use a new needle (jeans) to avoid skipped stitches. A jelly roll sasher (folds your fabric and batting together) keeps your folds uniform. The choice of solid fabric and white thread make the stitches more obvious. Connecting the fabric strips on the diagonal doesn't add bulk to the seams and is a stronger join.
