Here's a couple of hints I was given for joining batting pieces... * Lay two pieces on top of each other (yes overlap!!) ... top with a ruler, and then slice down the overlap with your rotary cutter. That way, you have two pieces that are now cut straight and match precisely. Then sew. * When joining batting pieces, don't make the seams at right angles to the way it will be in a quilt. Angles are actually better, and probably will be less apt to be noticeable in a finished quilt, than they might be if all is kept straight and rigid. Keeping them straight on the horizontal or vertical, you might hit right on a seam, which could make quilting awkward, whether by hand or machine. If on an angle, then you are more likely to just have to work with it crossing a seam. |
I've overlapped with no discernable problem using W&N.

in a hurry one time, on a wall hanging not to be washed, i used scotch tape LOL
|
I piece a lot of batting scraps to make bigger pieces. I use Batting tape. Fast, simple , and done.
|
zig zag stitches do well. as wide as your machine allows and with correct foot too of course.
|
I use a fusible, but I really like the sound of how dunster does it.
|
Since this is a wall hanging, go ahead and overlap. You won't see it in the quilting and it won't cause discomfort or annoyance since it's not on someone's lap.
That said, if this quilt is an entry into some sort of competition, I would use a new piece and save leftovers for other projects. |

lol, people use glue, why not tape ;-)

I finally just admitted to myself that I can't stand piecing batting. I don't know why, it just drives me nuts. I have bins of batting pieces that I need to pitch because it's just taking up space.
To answer your question though, I'd probably whip stitch it by hand. |
