I make lots of small projects like quilted bags and placemats. The bigger pieces get fused with the fine iron-on tape made for this purpose and used in quilts. It's a quick process and I can't even tell the tape is there. You have to lay the two pieces to overlap slightly and rotary cut neatly through both, pulling off the overlapped area so that the two pieces butt together perfectly before you fuse them with the tape. I have used at least a couple of different brands, Dritz and one from Connecting Threads, and both work great.
