I quilt first the middle, attach the batting back on one side via about 1" to 1 1/2" of fusible interfacing, quilt that section, then do the same with the other side. You could also whip stitch the interfacing back together by hand, I have done this also. They actually have pre-made strips to fuse the batting together, but I just cut the interfacing myself - much cheaper. (Clear as mud!)
Thanks, Jeanie. I was on quilt retreat this past weekend and someone else suggested the same thinbg with fusible interfacing. I may try it, the only concern is that you'll feel that from the outside of the quilt. No one has mentioned that as a problem, however, so maybe I'm worrying about nothing.Thanks!
