I usually even up my edges and piece them with a running stitch. I recently bought "Heat Press Batting together" from connecting threads http://www.connectingthreads.com/too..._L600502.html. I haven't used it yet but after reading about the fusible interface, the interface would be more cost effective and easier to get than ordering online. Thanks for the information. I love these helpful hints!

I use fusible interfacing cut into 1" strips, Butt the two even sides of batting together and lay the interfacing stick side down and press. I turn it over and repeat. I've used this method for a number of years and it has worked for me. :-)

I have recently connected pieces together.
I used the edge joining foot on my machine and that allows you to put the edges on each side of the bar on the foot so you don't get overlapped edges.
I used a fairly large zig zag stitch. Watch out for stretching--it happens very easily.
