I like to use the fusible tAape the jut the edges together. Use a hot iron for cotton batting, a little cooler for polyester. Works fine with me. When zigzagging mine,I found that I couldn't keep the edges together all the way and there were gaps with no batting.

Way to go, you saved alot of money!

I have only sewn batting together (In a single seam) to make it larger, but I'm thinking I'd like to try this and incorporate it into the "Fun & Done", "Mile-a-Minute" and/or "Sew-as-you Go" type quilt(blocks) which require just a small square of batting.

Great idea. I save most of my batting scraps to use on small projects. Never thought to turn them back into big bats. I have been short on a quilt batting and had to sew another strip onto it. Same technique. Yours is just on a thriftier scale. Saved money = more to spend on fabric. :-)

I've pieced battings and it workd fine as long as they are the same weight. Don't piece a fluffy poly with a thin cotton. And don't overlap the edges - just butt them together and do a big zig zag - either by hand or the machine. Handle as one bit batt, and you'll be fine.

Oh Gosh, at the Demo Club I attend monthly at my LQS, she just mentioned a fusible to join the seams. Can't think of it at the moment, but it must be new. I think it must be similar to interfacing because you need a pressing cloth to use it. Not sure of the expense.

Scrap batting also works well for stuffing pillows or toys.

I have pieced many left over pieces of batting together and used them in my lap quilts. Know one but me knows that they have been pieced. Well.....maybe the quilt police that secretly watch everything I do!!

Never wanting to throw anything away, I also piece my batting scraps together all the time and have never had a problem when I use the patched batting. Most of the time I use them in handbags but I've also used them in quilted jackets, wall hangings, table runners as well as lap quilts.

I am finishing two toddler quilts (40 x 53). For the batting I zig zagged the pieces together. You cannot even tell it by the quilt. Some pieces were big, some were small. But there was enough to get the job done and get most of my pieces used up. Some I use to practice FMQ and some pieces get used in potholder projects. Diane/Wyoming
