I frequently piece batting scraps for our guild's Community Project Quilts and once the quilts are completed, you would never know that the batting was pieced. I feel that batting should not be wasted as it is expensive. The smallest scraps I use to stuff my dolls and teddy bears.

I have made a couple larger quilts with pieced batting. I never had a problem. As don't use a HUGE amount of quilting but I do use an "ample" amount of quilting on quilts that have a pieced batting.

NO there is not "seam" there, what you do is you but the two pieces up to each other and you set your machine to the widest, longest zig zag stitch that it will do and you send the pieces though the machine making sure that either side of the zig zag catches either side of the batting holding it together I am gonna find a link and add it.

here ya go scroll down to "How to join smaller pieces of batting to make one big piece." http://bloominworkshop.wordpress.com...6/the-tip-jar/

It sounds like you had a very productive day and saved $$$.

That is one thing I do like to save and use for wallhangings etc. I won't save scraps but the batting? yes...

The Bloomingworkshop does give a very clear Demo! This pieced batting will be strong especially once it is quilted.

I never waste even a tiny scrap of my batting, sometimes I feel that my batting is as much pieced as the quilt top is :mrgreen:

I use the larger pieces for quilts, smaller for wall-hangings; place-mats etc; small square for coasters and rag quilts; and strips for the handles of totes. Anything that is really small is used as stuffing, all sorted and used :thumbup:

I zigzag my pieces together and It works fine. You never would know when you are done.

It would have to be a very small scrap of batting for me to throw it away. I've pieced them and used them for quilts of all sizes, wallhangings, end table/coffee table/nightstand covers placemats, and coasters.

I zig zag them. Batting is expensive and hate throwing it away. My kids are always getting new quilts and that's what I use them for. The smaller pieces work great for wall hangings, table toppers, mug rugs, coasters, what ever small project you have going on. :)
