Question Can I splice it?

I have used batting tape or zigzags to splice pieces of batting, but I am wondering if/how to combine smaller pieces and strips of Insul-Brite into a larger one. Or, should I just pin the pieces really close together. The resulting larger piece would mainly be used for table runners and potholders.
Thanks so much for your help!

Great idea to use insulbrite for table runners. Yes, I think I'd zigzag the pieces together.

I normally fuse my batting pieces together but with the Insulbright, I would zig zag the pieces together.

Like the idea of insulbright for the table runners also. I whip, baste or ladder stitch batting when splicing.

I use strips of light weight fusible interfacing..cheaper than the tape.

I cut the edges with a rotary cutter and then butt the edges and zigzag them together. No one will ever know the difference, including you after the item is finished and on the table. froggyintexas

I would zig-zag the pieces. I also have used light weight interfacing to put batting together.
