Piecing Quilt Batting With a Wide Zig-Zag
#17
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I was going through my bag of batting scraps yesterday looking for pieces large enough to finish a set of place mats. I did pretty much of what you have shown, but yours are much neater than mine. I will take greater care the next time I zig zag two pieces together, particularly for a large project.

I think this is called a darning stitch. It makes multiple stitches back and forth but very close together. I lengthen the stitch a lot when sewing batting like this.

Had my machine put away but some pieces of batting were found in a container and needed to bring out the machine. Did this method and put 5 different pieces together to make a little bit larger than a lap quilt. I find batting at estate sales and snatch it up if I can. Walked out with 4 large bags couple weeks ago for $5.00. 2 bags were king size with multiple pieces but same batting. Now enough for a queen size quilt. What's nice about the smaller pieces they fit in my laundry bags and made it so much easier to pre-wash.
