I just use a large zig zag stitch and always make sure to use cotton thread for I never know what project it will be going into. I had tried the tape and it was just too much work for me. The stitching is so much easier.

I save my batting scraps and use them to stuff pillows etc. works great!

I just butt the edges of the pieces of batting against each other and use the zigzag stitch to join them together. Once it is in a quilt and the quilting is done, you will never be able to tell that it wasn't a full-size piece of batting.

I also whip stitch, but sometimes zig-zag them together. I use everything!! Have fun!

Love this idea. Must try it. Thanks for sharing.

I've been taking the scraps, use the rotary cutter to make sure I have clean edges, then zigzag them together. I've been doing it for years and the batting seems to hold up, especially since you will be quilting over it. I do know they have just come out with a tape that you iron on but the zigzag stitch seems to do the job.

I use a wide zig zag and have also tried batting seam tape which works well too. Just what I'm in the mood to do at the time. Good luck!

I have used the iron on fusible tape but just using a big zig zag stitch works just as well & NO problems with using this in any quilt that I have made.

I the FMQ class I took the teacher recommended cutting the batting in a curve shape before sewing it together. Said it would hold together better when it was quilted. If you cut straight it could end up in a spot that didn't get much quiting. She also recommended buying fusible tricot to use as an iron on to piece batting. You can get it in the interfacing section. The stuff they sell to fuse batting together is just a thin strip of fusible tricot. Much cheaper to cut your own strips.

I just tried the zig zag method and it worked like a charm. Another upside: using up all the little bits of bobbin thread that are left over. I feel so thrifty!
