This works great for the W & N - but what method to use for poly batt? The top piece keeps getting caught in the sewing foot! Suggestions, please!

I have used two methods~

1) Butt together and use wide zig-zag. (just used this method yesterday)

2) Use very light weight iron on interfacing, butt together and iron a strip of the interfacing.

Jordon ~ you might be able to us method '2' for your poly batting.

I butt them together and zip zag - haven't had a problem

What is a three step zig-zag?

i just butt them up the best i can and hand stitch a quick zig zag to keep them together long enough to get the batting sprayed down on my backing an i put the sewn pices together where i know i am going to be doing a lot of quilting in that area

I've laid the pieces side by side and used a zig zig, which I sew over twice. It's worked out wonderfully!

I was taught to butt the edges together not to overlap and sew buy hand, using a herring bone stitch! I guess that is old fashioned now!

I think this means the sewing machine takes three small stitches to the right and then three small stitches to the left. It's the stitch I use when joining batting.

that is how I was taught too. Old fashion is best, lots of times!

Me too. Perfect. Don't like to waste batting. I hand quilt and don't find the "seam" to be a problem.
