I use them for lots of things, stuffing pillows if they are to small to sew together for a big project. I use them zigzag stitched together for coasters, doll quilts, and anything I need just a little batting or stuffing for. My theory is that it costs so much that we can't just 'throw it away' we need to use every square inch. Or am I just cheap?? :shock:
