Batting pieces?
 
I have large pieces of batting left over from quilts. Can I piece these together to use for a lap quilt? If so, what do I use to do this?

Thanks-

I do and I use an iron tape made for this.

Please tell me about the iron on tape. Is there a certain brand I should get or stay away from?

You can zigzag them together, butting the edges. I have used the tape also and find that is quicker .

I have done this using a joining foot to sew them together good luck

I butt mine together and use a zigzag stitch, or sometimes I will overlap just a hair and zigzag, works fine for small quilts I think.

i join batting all the time. i just lay them on top of each other and make a clean cut to the butting edges. then i zig zag the edges together.

This is what I do all the time..use a close big zigzag and tada... Works for me..

I do the zigzag also and it has always worked for me.

big zig zag, after smoothing out the edges so they butt together well. I have almost no batting scraps anymore. Wish I could say the same about my scrap fabric bin!
