I like to use my large left-over pieces of cotton batting to use on another quilt. Other than butting them and zig-zagging, what other methods do you quilters use? I saw somewhere about using some fusible strips, but I can't remember where? Any suggestions as to what you do would be appreciated.

I like to zigzag them together... it works great for me :D:D:D

I just butt them up together and pin the sandwich and then when quilting am careful to make sure that area gets stitched right.

I saw a new product at the quilt store yesterday made just for fusing batting together. I didn't buy it, as I rarely do this. Most of my quilts are long arm quilted, and she supplies the batting.

I just zig-zag them together.

I bought a roll of batting tape, it's a fusible tricot interfacing,1-1/2" wide. I used to cut interfacing into strips and do this but it's so much easier like this! It's so soft you can't tell it there. When I tried to zigzag I got tangled up in the feed dogs so I started doing it by hand which is a major pain.

I so hear you and when I try just to butt them up together with pins I get gaps. Whipping up with long stitches doesn't take too long. My luck with the fusible is to get the iron too hot and melt either the strips or the batting (even if it is cotton!) LOL

I just zig zag enough to keep it together.

I lay my two pieces together and over lap them about an inch. then I take the ruler and cut down thru the middle of the "overlap" then zigzag them together. It gives me two pieces that are perfectly straight when butted up against each other.

I sew them together by hand.
