Thread: Batting pieces

I also use batting on my Swiffer. It grabs thread, dust, etc. better than the Swiffer cloths. I used a longer piece to pad my ironing board after the purchased pad wore out. The longer skinny pieces are great for making purse handles. The smaller pieces are good for the actual purses...eyeglass cases....wallets....needlecases....etc. I uses pieces that aren't 100% poly for cleaning jobs like windowsills, the refrigerator vent-thing under the door, and blucky jobs that would ruin a good cleaning rag. It also seems to get into the nooks and crannies a little better. Batting scraps are perfect to dust computer, printers, etc. Again, it grabs the dust a little better. I use them with Armor-all to dust my dashboard of the car.... A long time ago, I was warned that you shouldn't wash some cleaning rags if they had certain products on them (i.e. furniture polish, Armor-all, etc.) as the cleaning products would destroy the inner workings of your washer. So, any of those 'bad' cleaning projects are met with a piece of batting that I can throw away after.

I just zig-zag the pieces together. Seems so much simpler than trying to store an additional item in my small sewing space.

zig zag works for me. My quilts are mostly for grandkids, their interested in the colors not in the smoothness.
