yes, this! JoAnn has very lightweight fusible, a whole "bolt" is very cheap ($6?) and you can cut strips/pieces to patch in batting. MUCH MUCH cheaper than batting tape (sure wish I'd have thought of that tape - quite the money-maker!). I've done this and it works great.

I mended the quilt batting with tape as I was not finding it easy to join two edges by hand - either thread too tight or too loose. When I pinned it back together I noticed a chewed area right on the seam at the right-angle corner of the outside strip of the corner triangle, of all places, so I had to perform a little strip surgery on each side of the strip, which I did by hand. Lessons learned there!

I looked under the sofa and to my horror discovered that it contained several of those little felt catnip mice, half chewed, and a rather thick scattering of mouse poop, along with other bits of fuzz. I don't think the catnip mice were pooping, but were the real mice playing with the catnip mice? Hmmmm. Poor old cat has been gone for a few years.

Housecleaner evidently didn't move sofa ever (shudder) so I am now on a real spring cleaning of my own! There's another positive outcome.

I put two traps out, baited with PB and toast, and added a couple scraps of batting on top to attract their attention, but no bites yet.

Well, all's well that ends well.

I hope you can fix it. And get mouse traps!

Wow - that's unbelievable!!

I've had mice use the fuzzy inside of a grill cover to build a nest in my gas grill. We found babies when we went to grill for the first time during the season.

Let's hope you don't have a nest somewhere in your house.

I would have been freeked out.......would have unpinned and laundered top and back and used new batting......that piece of batting may be ok but i think mice pee also...................actually i have no experience with mice so am probably overreacting.

We have pasture all around us, so very familiar with the little devils. I use to use the old fashioned mouse traps but couldn't catch any mice. So now I use the sticky pads. When we had our house, yard, and shop sprayed they gave us some better sticky pads. Anyway, they usually come in the house in the spring so I keep pads out. But cannot keep the devils out of the vehicles. They chew up the wiring and make their nests. Automotive people hate when they have to get nest out to change the oil. lol One other thing about the sticky pads; other insects get stuck also (think spiders and scorpions).

First, I sincerely hope you set a few traps to get that bugger!!!!! You can also sort of tear the edges of a piece and "blend" it into that "eaten" area....should work fine...........
