[quote=brushandthimble]overlap two pieces and cut with rotary cutter in a smooth large wave and zig zag together by butting the pieces together not overlapping the edges. never shows through.
THEN there is the fusiable joining, either with the new tape you can buy or I have cut thin strips of fusiable web and used that for wall hangings.[/qu
Fusing the pieces with 2 inch strips of fusiable interfacing. on both sides of the batting. I have made many quilts with that method and never had a problem with them after they have been washed.

no straight line in the quilt, blends in better and I have never been able to tell where I pieced the batting. Forget when or where I heard about doing it that way instead of the straight line I used when I first joined pieces.
What does the wave do? Why not a straight edge?

I bought by the yard a fuiseable kind of a fabric. It's white and you iron the two pieces together, works great. You can by it pre cut in a pkg but it's too much money. By the yard is cheaper, I just cut it into strips and when I need it I just get it and iron the two together. I bought it at the Bernina store where they have fabric as well.

I have also been shown to cut large curves and the join the batting so the curves match and then zig zag, this also helps not to have a solid "bump" showing in the quilt. You can also try this! :?
