I've read that in order to successfully piece batting you put the two edges next to each other and zigzag stitch.

I'm trying to do that with a straight stitch only machine on a somewhat fluffy poly batting and not having much luck.

So my obvious question is how can I make this work for me? Or should I just give up and open a new package of batting to do this 24" square wall hanging?

Thanks for all your expertise that y'all so willingly share!
