I butt the edges together, use a basting needle and whipstitch the pieces together. If I need to piece the batting I always stitch it; however, I have been told that some longarmers will lay the batting together when they have quilted to the area where the batting would need to be pieced and just quilt over it without stitching it together. But I would be afraid it would shift before I had it quilted securely.
