I just zig zag them together and that worked just fine for me.

Thanks for posting that. |
I am a zigzagger too :D:D:D

I use the three step zig-zag stitch. There in no "bump" in the joined peices.
|
What I did, is I used a straight stitch on my machine, and then ironed the seam flat. I don't have a zig zag machine(all of my machines are straigth stitch)

Thank you all so much for your tips! I just butted the edges together and did the zigzag stitch and it worked like a charm!!

if you are using cotton batting, place one piece on top of the other so the edges overlap slightly. have your cutting mat underneath the pieces. Using your rotary cutter, cut a *wavy* line. This creates an edge which is very easy to keep together. Take the very edge pieces off and you will have 2 main pieces that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Take them to your machine and use a 3 stitch zig zag. you can set your machine so that it is very loose, rather than a tight stitch. It will go together without lumps and will be fine to use.
Hope this helps. Lisa |
I butt the two pieces together and use the zigzag stick on my machine.

I'm a zigzagger as well...I pieced enough batting remnants a friend gave me to do a full-size bed quilt. It'a a good thing the remnants were all good lengths and at least 12 inches (or more) wide!
