Reassemble the sandwich and keep on keeping on!

But, I must say, it seems to me you have more problems than a torn batting if a mouse in your house has done such damage in one day. I hope you catch it....and all it's buddies.....quickly. Rodent droppings can be very hazardous to your health.

This is exactly what I was thinking you could do with the batting...like Jan I'd do the Zigzag stitch if possible. But about your little mousies, I had to go to Home Depot and bought the white plastic traps, super simple and easier to use than the wooden traps. Use a tad of peanut butter and with two fingers your trap is set! My mouse problem is very few and far between now. Good Luck!!
