    I don't bother with the tape or anything..I just butt the edges together and zigzag stitch away. I just did a pretty good sized quilt with my scrappy fluff and washed and dried it three times to make sure there was no shifting. Didn't see a problem at all. I've done this on the last 4 I've done and Its been fine so far.

    I make Barbie furniture so the leftover batting comes in handy for cushions, pillows and mattress'

    I piece them together and use for other projects like wall hanging, place mats, stuff like that. Too expensive to waste.

    If you have pieces that are about 3 inches by 45 inches, I would use then in a "quilt as you go" stripe lap quilt. I'd lay out my backing, lay batting strip with fabric strip on top and stitch across the top edge. Then I would add the next fabric and batting strip face down on the last one and stitch down, flip it down and proceed in this manner 'til you get to the bottom of your backing. You have a lap quilt sewn and quilted and just have to put the binding on.

    Are they big enough to use in a purse?? I just put warm and natural in a purse I made and I like they way it feels. next time I think I will also use interfacing with it so it is a little stiffer.

    I don't stitch mine, I just make a new straight cut, match the cut edges and use the scraps in quilts. Once I have basted, everything is stable. I try to use up every bit.

    If I have strip of batting that is 8" I cut them into 7.5" square for rag quilts, also the fusible interfacing cut into strips works I did try the fusible roll that's on the market and it works wonderful but pricey

    I also use them for rag quilts. One LQS that I visit has a flannel rag quilt on display with the finished squares about 2 inches by 3 inches, which would use up a lot of little pieces.
