I looked at it, but @ 10 yds for $8.00 I don't think it's worth the price. It doesn't take very long to zigzag or serge batting together.

i've only used it to hem pants...it's wonderful..it has lasted for over a year, but i don't think it will last for many years...i think the recommendation to butt the seams and zigzag stitch is more durable...

Never used the stuff, just whip stitch it together or zigzag it with sewing machine.

That seems expensive. I use my scraps for my QAYG projects. A little spray adhesive to the backing and they work great.

I have used it and personally do not think it is worth the money. I like to butt them together & zig zag as well.

Have it, not tried it out yet, but I am getting low on batting and have lots and lots of pieces, so maybe its time to experiment.

I have used it when putting smaller pieces of left-over batting together for wall hangings etc and I do like it as when quilting the finished project your needle doesn't go down between the batting pieces.
