FreeSpirit Fabrics

I thought they were done by machines..... I will never look at a jelly roll the same again.....

Hi Everyone! I’ve seen a lot of requests for video of design roll production. Ask and you shall receive! This is truly skilled labor at its finest. She’s one of our best!

UPDATE! So many questions! Love the interaction that this video has created!
Bertha is the star of this video! Her name is mentioned in the beginning of the clip, but there's alot of chatter and background noise.She's probably the best 'roller' out there!
The collection and fabric in this design roll does not belong to FreeSpirit, so I checked with our convertor on this one to find out why she was removing strips. In this instance, it was a relatively small production run where the customer was creating different put-up sizes. The colors fed into the box were added to a different roll. Not scraps!
There are many different economies of scale used to achieve as little wasted fabric as possible in pre-cut productions. Next to our customers, fabric is our precious commodity!

Non sewing related... To our friends who hear me talk a lot about my amazing brother-in-law whenever they come and visit... Here he is! They gave him less than a year. He did it all - cut, burn & poison. Had a couple of setbacks but God has better plans. Now he’s their longest living Glioblastoma survivor. Praise God Almighty! Sharing so we can all Dream without fear & Love without limits. #keytothecuresaks5th
