So after I cut out what I need, is there a way to put two pieces of batting together so that I dont waste all this batting? Do I sew it together or I thought of taking a piecing of fusing and ironing to together?
Any suggestions?
There is a new product out now that comes on a roll, you butt up your batting and it is a strip about 1-1/2 wide that you center over the edges and press it on. You only have to do it on one side. I saw this done at a quilt show and it felt great and looked great and a great saver. I don't remember the name of it, however I did see it at Fabric Depot in Portland, Oregon the other day.
