I cut the fusible tricot into two inch wide strips and press approximately one inch onto each side of the batting I am fusing. It is so lightweight, there is no bulge and it's quicker than zigzagging the edges. I use this method anytime I have to supplement the width or length of batting. I almost always buy the largest piece of batting I can when it's on sale and have relatively large 'scraps' leftover.
