Has anyone done this before? Would it work? If not, why?
Aprreciate your answers....thank you!
Walmart online has pellon quilters touch batting 9 yards 90 inches wide for under $23. I use this a lot and make almost three queen size quilts out of one bolt. And I save gas and time not running around looking for thrift shops or yard sales. Time is a little short these days.
