As some of the other QB members have pointed out, cutting a straight line on the batting, then using a zigzag stitch to stitch them together has worked well for me for several years, and it's particularly quick and easy to do, especially for smaller quilts.

My favorite batting is Warm and Natural - zig zagging my pieces together is how I found out there is a right side & a wrong side to batting!! I make sure I have the same sides together when I join them to avoid a really wavy "seam".
