I piece batting for my quilts. It saves money.

Buy lightweight iron on interacting, strip it and works great at much less cost than the tape.

I zig zag, but also try to cut the edges in a "wavey" pattern instead of a straight edge

I piece batting with the whip stitch for myself and quilts I give away, I cannot tell any difference after it is all quilted. I donot piece batting for customer quilts though I just wouldn't do that.

I recently pieced enough batting to make 4 charity quilts. I use the triple-stitch zig zag to piece it together. I agree that once it's quilted, no one knows the difference.

I butt the pieces together then sew it with a fringe foot and a zig-zag stitch.<o></o>
This keeps it together with out compressing the batting. <o></o>

I do what I need to do - like the batting tape. Makes life easier!

Once I had to piece the batting for an oversized king size quilt. I used the batting tape and was pleased with the results. Now, I use my left over batting for practicing FMQ. If I ever master that, which is doubtful, I will probably piece batting. I'll probably use a large zig zag stitch.
