Great idea....cutting into little bits is something I hadn't thought about! Thanks.

Thanks for this link - very clever.

That's what I do. The small pieces, 4 1/2, 5 1/2, etc, like to use inside my mug rugs for absorbing any heat or liquid to better protect furniture. I saw a thread on here recently that another use is to sew them together for a dust rag. I did that, it worked great. Keep one handy at my sewing table. Thanks QB Digest.

Another great use of batting scraps, especially strips, is the Auntie's Two patterns for handbags, etc. Amazing what you can make with scraps! http://auntiestwo.com/

I use my batting ends and strips for handles for bags and potholders, bibs, whatever the size of scrap is.

This is what I started doing with my left over batting and will save small scraps for stuffing.
The long skinny batting is for table runner. |
There is a tape out just for that purpose. I have used it to make batting for doll quilts. They get a lot of use and hold up well.
|
I tossed and scattered the scraps onto my cutting mat, laid a ruler atop, and cut those scraps into bits which I then used to fill the pillow. |
I'm too late to get in on these good ideas. I just cleaned my sewing closet and tossed out those odds and ends of batting. Darn!
