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 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 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.
