Has anyone else done this? How did the pieced battings work?
There is a fusable 1 1/2" wide cloth tape that is pressed on with heat for fusing together pieces of batting. There is 10 yards on a roll. I found it first on the internet but now it is in the quilt stores. It works great. I use it to fuse together pieces that combined can be used for lap throws and/or larger quilts. With it, you don't have a ridge as you might when sewing it together. You just butt the 2 pieces together, place the tape on top and apply heat. I used one of those small applique hand irons. Also is quicker than sewing it together. :D :D :D
