I save all of my leftover batting and just zigzaz them together. I use them for wallhangings as they won't be washed. Smaller ones I use for coasters or table mats or table toppers.

That's what I do with mine, or I use my batting remnants for QAYG projects. It's hard to let anything go to waste when you know it could be used for something eventually!

I don't intend to throw it away, but eventually is here and I can't get into my closet without crawling through stacks of batting. The idea of cutting them up for pillows is great, as I make plenty of them and have been buying pillowforms. The problem is what do you put them in because when you want to wash the outside they'll all pop out. Not good!

How about trying some QAYG?

This is what I do too. Never had a problem with it coming apart.

I make my own pillow forms by just cutting 2 pieces of muslin the size I want (14" sq, or whatever) sew it all but a small section and fill it with fiberfill, or all those little pieces of batting you cut up. and then sew the opening shut. You don't even have to turn it inside out. I like to use the serger, but a zigzag works.

Thanx to the folks who said you can put them together. I never thought of it or heard if from my quilter friends.

If you want to use the pieces for stuffing pillows, first make a muslin lining for the pillow. That way, you can just take the pillow cover off to wash as needed. :)

I bought some of that tape. But believe me, for putting small pieces of batting together on a regular basis, it is cost prohibitive! Convenient for doing larger pieces once in a while or maybe smaller in an emergency, but $$$$

I use mine for QAYG (quilt as you go)
