How to Combine Wrap-N-Zap
 
I have a lot of leftover Wrap-N-Zap that's too small for my projects. Is there any way I can combine it into larger pieces?

I don't see any reason why the pieces could not be zig zagged together like any other batting.

I always piece my batting scraps together being sure that I don't mix the various kinds of batting. I always get them used up in a variety of ways. It never shows that I have joined them with zig-zagging. I also overlap the pieces and rotary cut through that area; this assures a nice straight, matching seam that lays flat.

Thank you mosher92 for asking about is wrap and zap. I didn't know what it was either.

I believe the only difference between Wrap n Zap and regular 100% cotton batting, is that W&Z does not have the poly scrim. It's all cotton, so it won't catch fire in the microwave. So I don't see any reason why you couldn't join leftover pieces. Just don't join them with a polyester iron on tape if you are going to use them in the microwave (bowls, potato bags, etc). Polyester and man made fibers can catch fire in the microwave. Also use cotton thread for items to be used in the microwave.

Actually any fibers can catch fire in the microwave, including cotton. But if you are going to use it anyway, do use all cotton thread to join. Be aware that some cotton threads are either wrapped with poly or have a poly core.

Thank you everyone. I taught myself the little I know about quilting but I couldn't find anything online about piecing wrap-n-zap. Is there a site you would recommend that shows how to piece (anything)?
