Piecing Batting
I have several large pieces of W&N batting left over from various projects. Is it worth the expense of purchasing the fusible tape for joining the batting pieces or is zig-zagging them together just as effective? Are there any major differences when the joined pieces are used and quilted in a project (quilt, not table runners, etc.) or the project is laundered? Thanks!

I have sewn batting pieces together by hand, zigzagged by machine, and used fusible. Once the batting is inside the quilt I cannot tell that it was pieced by any method. Because of that, I now zigzag all batting by machine, since that's the quickest and easiest for me.

i have used the tape several times.
it's less tedious than hand or machine zig zagging.
it is pretty pricey, though, so whether or not it's worth the cost would depend entirely upon how flexible your budget is.
i save it for those times when i have to do a lot of batting patch-togethers.

i much prefer the zig zagging. i've used the tape and don't think it's worth the expense. if i got the tape because the quilt must be 'nicer', then i'd rather go to the expense of getting the right size of the batting
