    Hi All, I'm working on a jean quilt that I will be tying not quilting. I need to piece my batting to fit the top. I am using cotton flannel for the batting. I've washed the flannel so I am good to go. I am using something called "Heat Press Batting Together". It's a fusible cloth tape. I butted the two sides of my flannel together; ran this tape down the center; and pressed it. It worked beautifully!! But now I'm wondering if I should flip the flannel over and press another piece of this tape down on the other side. I really don't want to but will if you all think that the flannel will start to bunch after a few washings. Thanks in advance :)

    If you're worried about it bunching, you could zig zag it down through the tape making it extra secure. That would leave you with more tape for the next project.

    I have not used the tape yet but when I asked about it at the store they said it was permanent. I will be interested in anyone's experience with it.

    I think you should be okay though.

    I recently got some of the tape too. I've only used it on a wallhanging, but I only ironed it to one side. I think it should be fine.

    Thank you all! I did go to the web site, coloradosky, and watched the video. Between the video and you dear ladies, I'm not going to worry about it and just do the one side. Thank you all again!!
