Buy some of the heat tape that puts pieces of batting together. You can get it at JHittleSewing.com (no affiliation to me. I just got it there.)

If you have really narrow strips that are very long it is ideal to use them for the inside of purse handles. Just wrap fabric aroung them and stitch.

I use even small pieces. Fit them together, zig-zag them together and use them in pot holders, one layer of reg. and one of insulbrite.

I also use them in my swiffer. They last longer than the little pads you can buy.

If you can buy the felting needle attachment for your machine, you can just 'felt' them together the same way it was made! :) We used to do this at the shop with our Janome felting machine.

Then I would add the next fabric and batting strip face down on the last one and stitch down, flip it down and proceed in this manner 'til you get to the bottom of your backing. You have a lap quilt sewn and quilted and just have to put the binding on.
great idea

MY order came yesterday. Haven't used it yet. Has anybody else and how did it work?

Great idea. Never thought of this. Thanks

I use leftover quilt batting in bags and bag handles. I make covers for coathangers and use the leftovers to pad the wooden hangers. I also make machine embroidered covers and I place the batting under the fabric and embroider through both layers.

I also join the batting if needed.
