I did this on one of our charity quilts, trimmed the edge and had one of the ladies look for the overlap. She was not able to find it, even with the binding still off the quilt.
Now there's something I never tried. It sounds like a great idea. The few times that I had to piece batting, I did the curvy cut and then did the zig zag stitch and it never showed at all. Once I had to hand stitch about 4" across the bottom and that didn't show either.
