I like the 80/20 warm and natural but have alot of waste cutting down twin size.
I heard you can use some kind of tape to put pieces of batting togather, do you know what kind?
The tape you are looking for is called "Heat Press Batting Together", and it comes as a roll of tape in various widths. I like the wider width. It's easy to use. Just follow the directions, but basically it's: apply it to your pieces of batting, use a warm iron for a short period to "set" it, and it's forever bonded. It doesn't come apart in the wash either. I get mine at Nancy's Notions (on line), but I'll bet you can find it at most quilting shops.
