I bought some at the Houston show, but have not used it yet!

Okay, thanks. I think I will experiment with it, though I need to experiment with sewing the pieces together also. I have just been saving my leftovers, waiting to figure out what to do with them.

I have always zig zagged my edges together. It is a lot cheaper than 8.00 for 10 yards.

I like it. It's faster then sewing and one roll will last a long time. I use short strips of it for binding a long seam. It holds it together just fine that way.

I cut strips of lite weight interfacing, butt the batting pieces together then place the interfacing strips and press. I use a pressing cloth too.

The tape is invisible and un-detectable in a quilt.

If you wait until connectingthreads puts it on 30-40% off, you can buy a couple of rolls and stock up.

I have thought about it, but I can justify the cost of it. I use left over iron-on interfacing strips or just zig-zag pieces together. I am sewing the binding on a quilt that has about 4 or 5 left over pieces of batting zig-zagged together. The quilt is dark on both top and bottom so I didn't worry about anything showing. You can't tell it has pieced batting at all.

I use light weight fusable interfacing, cut strips, cost a lot less and does the same thing.
