Hey, I have come up with a great way to attach batting when joining two pieces. I don't think I'm so great as to be the very first person to do this, but it works great for me.

I used to zig zag the batting pieces to each other, but that just doesn't always work, especially if the batting isn't cut straight.

So I cut about a 2.5" inch strip of scrap fabric or muslin, and sew one piece of batting with the edge to the center of the fabric, then butt the other batting edge against the first edge and sew a straight seam down the second piece of batting. I use a basting stitch, it doesn't matter if it's perfect since it won't show, just try to get the two batting pieces as close as each other as possible. It's a lot easier, and if you want, you can do a wide zigzag stitch down the two edges if it makes you more comfortable as a third seam.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
