When I first started quilting I saved every small pieces of fabric and batting...now unless the fabric is at least a 3 1/2" or larger plus a fabric I like and will have uses for it later on and the batting would work in at least as wide and long for a handle or bigger will I keep. Otherwise I give the left overs away to a friend or anyone who wants scraps or I even been known to throw away.

If they are small scraps, I save them for dog beds for the animal shelter. Anything larger is sewn together on the spot to create a larger piece. When it gets large enough, I fold it and store it. I've made many small and wall quilts with nothing but strips of batting sewn together.

Hey Piecemaker! A ham looks just like a real ham in design. It's used to press set in sleeves or any type curve[dressmaker things or mens clothes]. You lay whatever you need pressed over a part of the ham and press with an iron. Big spot on big part of ham or little spot on the little part of the ham. Happy New Year Barny
