A friend of mine suggested using fusible interfacing to hold the pieces together. I usually do a large hand whip stitch to hold them together or large zig-zag on the machine.

Im a ZIG ZAGGER too... No tape tho.. I really dont see the need on my quilts to use the tape.. |
I won the roll of fusible stuff used to bind batting together an it's just fusi-knit (interfacing used for t shirt quilts) but in a 1 inch roll. You could even use a light weight fusible cut in strips, which is what I will do when I use up this roll.

They make fusible iron on tape so you don't have to sew it together. I've done that way only. It works very well. I've never sewed it together, so I don't know how easy that is. The fusing is pretty darn easy.

I just use the thinnest fusible interfacing I can, cut it into strips and iron it on, it is not stiff and the quilting takes care of the rest

I ustzig zag min. I don't like the"lump" that foms if you iron one piece over the other.

If I couldn't buy more batting or hard to find, I would save batting scraps. I came to the point of knowing I can't save every scrap of batting, fabric, and almost empty thread spools. And please don't say save them for others to use. I still have to SAVE them to give away. If I was going to save them I may as well use them myself.
