I suggested the interfacing to my friend and she just died laughing,, she has a bolt of it that someone gave her and she is not going to use on anything, so...she is keeping 3 yards just in case of course and my DH is going to take the bolt, put it between two pieces of cardboard, put it on the saw table and cut it into 1 1/2" sections for her! VIOLA, batting tape!

It's a no question to think now would I rather move this little iron or move a big piece of batting through my machine. I use the batting tape sold at Connecting Threads. I like the ease of using it so I'll buy it again. The batting is still fused in the quilt I used it on and it's been laundered several times.

When the first bit of tape is fused to the batting is easy to move, it's connected. It's much easier and faster for me then trying to wrestle the batting under my machine. I like the ease of it, the time it saves me and I don't think it's expensive, but what is great for me may be useless to another.

I'm kind of a chicken... I got one package of it at Connecting Threads and was afraid to try it on a quilt that would be used a lot and washed a lot. So, I just used it for wall hangings that mostly, well, just hang there. It worked great! I think it's kind of expensive for a big quilt, and am still wary of it coming apart over time. I like the pellon idea though!
Lucky for me, I decided last year I was going to make a few wall hangings to go in the same spot on my family room all year long. I have made good use of the binding connector stuff! So far I have made, or am working on, these wall hangings with pieced batting: an autumn wreath, a Christmas wreath, (different styles) a snowman, a bunch of wacky bright flowers, a bunch of watermelons, and a halloween thingy.
