I cut the edges straight with my rotary cutter first and then use a wide zig zag. I use up my pieces on smaller things like wall hangings, table topper, tablerunners etc. If I was going to join for a quilt, I would use the tape. I would hate to get all done and either have a spot the quilt wants to fold or a ridge that might be visible under a light fabric. Do what feels right to you.

I zigzag as others have. My friend did the same last week, could barely tell where the pieces join...can't waste good patting pieces.

I cut both ends and zig zag them. I also use the smaller pieces for bags, mug rugs, fabric bracelets....anything I can think of. I just cant stand throwing out good batting.

I zig zag them together with a very wide and long stitch width/length. Just make sure your have the length/width stretching in the same direction. Not really important from a quilting perspective just makes the use of pieces more efficient as they stretch at different rates. Ask me how I know!
