I just whip-stitched the batting pieces together by hand and it worked fine.
|
I use the zig-zag method, and it works great for me.
|
I zig zag also it works just peachy
|
If the batting has loft, zigzaging will flatten the loft and show up in the quilt.

Absolutely! The tape works wonderfully.. Easier than the zigzag method. No problems when laundered.

I have used leftover pieces of batting many times but never sewed them together. I laid out the backing wrong side up on my table, then laid the pieces on top, pushing all the pieces of batting, sprayed it with basting spray and put the quilt top, right side up, on top of that. Forgot to say, I sprayed the backing with basting spray before placing the batting. Once it was quilted, you could not tell the difference.

I do a modified version of this, maybe not big "S" Shapes, but, kind of big wiggles, and then butt up together and use a zig zag. so far I have had good success with this. I have a roll of the tape and have used it once or twice, but, I find it is not that easy for me - and doesn't always stick all that well. At least that is my experience. I don't have a ridge if the edges are butted up and so far nothing has fallen apart. At least that I know of!! |

Easy to zigzag but I did try the tape...no preference...
