Shelley -I have used the fusable interfacing for several years also. Have not had any problem with it even with the 3 and 5 year old grandchildren playing tug of war with a quilt that I had used the interfacing to join the bat.
That quilt has been washed at least 4 times and you can not tell that the batting was pieced.

It's good to know that other quilters save batting by sewing it or taping it together, I thought I was really being a tight wad...I haven't tried the tape, but zig zagging it has always worked for me...

Tight wad?! no way girl! i save the pieces for pot holders, quilt as you go projects,baby quilts. i have also given them to someone here ont he board for stuffing dolls. (the ones that are really small)
my scraps of fabris are all cut into squares too! no waste here!

Take a look at one of the other videos attached to this link called Quick Quilt by Stash Quilting. I hadn't seen this before, but it could sure help you finish a quilt.

This is what I've done for about the last year.
It works great! :thumbup:

I think I had bought about 2 yards last year, and cut them into 1" strips, put them all in a ziplock bag. They are ready when I need them.

I use Iron on Interfacing cut in 2 inch runs. Over lap the pieces length wise one inch. then flip your batting and do the other side. I make sure my seams or over laps are not in the same spot as the other side. I have used it for at least 3 years or more

I too zig zag batting together. But the tape is a great idea.

Thank you, that is really neat, but I can't afford the tape. What a great idea. God bless.

I lay one piece of the batting on top of the other, cut through both with rotory blade (this makes the cut the same on both pieces) then butt them together and zig zag them together.. works perfectly.. :)
