Thanks so much for this information!!!

I have also been basting bits and pieces together to get enough for a project. I call those batts my Frankenstein's Monster projects. LOL! I figure once the piece is all quilted, everything will be well secured for as many washings as needed & batting is too expensive to waste.

I do the same thing, except i use scissors and snip it as straight as i can, then hand stitch together.
