thanks for all those suggestions......I did try sewing some together with zigzag...I was using batting from my fabric outlet (sells for 1.50 a yard)...it somehow caught the needle threader in my Bernina, and pulled a piece of it out of the machine.........the needle threader still works, but that piece is missing that held the thread for you.//oh duh...it will cost around $30.00 to replace that tiny staple looing piece, so I am hesitant to try sewing it by machine..however, I could do it by hand... thanks all!

I haven't made anything using the "Cotton Theory" method. Did you enjoy the process? How diffcult is it? I have a couple of her patterns and a video for placemats.

I always keep a little piece of batting near me while I'm hand quilting, because the ends and extra pieces of thread stick to it and stay contained.

I have also zig zagged my warm and natural or warm and white (I would do it by hand with other kind sof batting). Or as others have said, save it for smaller projects like potholders, mini quilts, maybe a quilt as you go project ....

Cheers!

I'll take leftover batting. Use it in my crochet creations. [email protected]

Larger pieces and strips I'll zig zag together. Some scraps go for FMQ practice. Or you can use squares for Quilt As You Go. :-D

Me, too, love that long zigzag stitch and not a problem one when I've sew them together to use in a quilt.

I used up alot doing Fun and Done where you quilt each block separatly. Bayside quilting has a video on this method. You cut your batting into 7 1/2 in squares.

RoseMarie,
Thanks for the info for bayside quilting....The video was very interesting.
