Just over lap the batting a little as possible making sure there is an overlap then lay a long ruler and cut a straight line through the two pieces; you will then be able to butt them up perfectly.

I use it and I love it!

I never used the iron on tape as I've always zig-zag-ed my batting together by same manufacturer and type of batting. The iron on type probably does work best on 100% cotton and not well with batting containing poly.
What's that iron on tape cost? $3? $6? $+ ... I'd rather buy a chocolate shake! :p I'm glad they have the tape for those that like and use the tape. Nan |

Yes, bought it and loved it (but a bit pricey). After seeing what the product is I plan on buying the lightweight tricot fusible and cutting my own.

Yes, I have used it and i like it. Don't think that I would use it on a polyester batting, though, as that would probably melt.
|
I use it too. Works great.

Try to use a non-woven textile tape or by the yard fusible. The stability of non-woven is needed as opposed to tricot or knits. Cutting the batt in a straight line leaves a straight line of weakness. It is better to cut a shallow curvy line. Try to find 1" wide fusible for straight lines and 2" wide is pretty much a must for curvy cuts. The non-woven tape is much less expensive than the knit tapes.

Great advice found on this board!

Has anyone tried using Batting Seam Tape? Did you like it?
I found Batting Seam Tape recently at a local fabric store. It is a fusible Seam Tape for Joining Scrap Pieces of Batting, thus no sewing involved. The package includes a roll of tape that is 1.5" wide by 10 yards. It advises you to line up batting edges closely, apply batting seam tape over the seam, press with iron and steam 10 seconds. Done! I practiced on small batting sizes about 12 long. Please give me your advice on using this tape to piece batting for a twin size quilt. Thank you! |
