Had my machine put away but some pieces of batting were found in a container and needed to bring out the machine. Did this method and put 5 different pieces together to make a little bit larger than a lap quilt. I find batting at estate sales and snatch it up if I can. Walked out with 4 large bags couple weeks ago for $5.00. 2 bags were king size with multiple pieces but same batting. Now enough for a queen size quilt. What's nice about the smaller pieces they fit in my laundry bags and made it so much easier to pre-wash.
