Exactly -- all the answers are correct. Actually, in this case, the batting LOOKED flat....but I don't have room to lay a king size batting out to see if it's totally flat. I hesitate to lay batting on the floor -- we live in the country and have 2 cats........ugh!!! So, I'm buying batting by the roll and will not let anyone provide batting again! And yes, that tape is a Godsend!!! That's what I used to fix this problem!
