I usually even up my edges and piece them with a running stitch. I recently bought "Heat Press Batting together" from connecting threads http://www.connectingthreads.com/too..._L600502.html. I haven't used it yet but after reading about the fusible interface, the interface would be more cost effective and easier to get than ordering online. Thanks for the information. I love these helpful hints!

Thats the way I find works best for me. I have never had a problem.

I use fusible interfacing cut into 1" strips, Butt the two even sides of batting together and lay the interfacing stick side down and press. I turn it over and repeat. I've used this method for a number of years and it has worked for me. :-)

I have recently connected pieces together.
I used the edge joining foot on my machine and that allows you to put the edges on each side of the bar on the foot so you don't get overlapped edges. I used a fairly large zig zag stitch. Watch out for stretching--it happens very easily. Chris |
I have used this new product, it works great! I have not been very successful in butting the edges together and zigzagging them.
|
with cotton batting I butt together and zig zag as others have said. The only one I whipstitch by hand is the polyester batting.
|
I overlap them about an inch or two, then cut down the middle of the overlap, so that I'm sure the edges want to fit without any gaps or stretching of the batting.

i do both zig zag or butt i only butt if it is a fairly large piece and i know i will be quilting that part heavy
