    $9 a roll seems a little pricey! I think I will try the fusible interfacing. Thanks Shelley. Always trying to be "green" in using my materials.

    it is a brilliant idea, and i know people will buy it.

    but i have always sewn my batting together using a "SITD" foot, and a zig zag stitch. i don't overlap it. it never has a "bump" in it. i hated wasting batting!

    I've always zig zagged my batting together also, without overlaping. I hand quilt and this seems to work for me. :-D

    do you have a stitch in the ditch foot? it has the metal bar in the center of the foot..at least that is what i use..although not required..
    you just butt both pieces of batting up against both sides of the bar, and use a zig zag stitch to join them.

    Several good ideas! Thanks for sharing. Does anyone have a problem with polyester batting melting when ironed?

    Batting can be pieced by laying the two strips side by side overlapping the edges. Cut through both layers, which will make the edges of both pieces match. Then at the sewing machine butt the two pieces and sew with a wide zig-zag stitch. I have used this method time after time and it works fine.
