This is the one I use and I have had no problems with it.

I hope this helps, I really don't like the effect I got from sewing them together.

I buy iron on lightweight tricot interfacing, cut into 1" strips and then butt the batting together and iron down the interfacing. Does not leave a ridge, very smooth.

I have been zig zagging batting together for years. Never understood the need for the tape, as a wide zig zag works just as well.

Thanks ladies! I'll look into the tape and also try the zig-zag stitching.

I've had really good luck with the wide zig zag, but I also use my walking foot, it seems to help the process a lot!

i would not iron poly batting, i lay one edge on top of another and then cut together so the edges matches perfectly...then i whipstitch really big (2") sts... it holds it together just fine without flattening the batting. i can do this in 5 minutes, all across a full width... when working with long pcs, just stake them out on the ironing board while you whipstitch together...
