You can find the same type of technique in the book:
Singer (Sewing Reference Library)
The Quilting Bible
except that the batting is cut straight, not in curves (which I will try out when I quilt my second quilt over the Christmas holidays).
The method does work. It is quite easy to slip-stitch the batting back together. I cut the batting where the quilting crossed over it as much as possible. There were no visible 'breaks' in the quilt later on.

Thank you for all of your comments. I have not tried this yet but I plan to. If it works will I will do this instead of a long arm. Long arms are very large and would take up my whole room. This does seem like a very interesting idea. I really love the look of the quilt being quilted instead of tied. I just can't see paying for someone else to quilt for me all the time. I did find a place that charges very little but I am sure she will not always be able to charge that. Her thread alone must cost half of what she is charging me.
