Has anyone tried the heat press batting tape to join batting together? Does it work any better than plain old fusible interfacing? I'm thinking $.

I don't know...I like the concept but have never used it (yet)...

I have tried it and like it. I think it is just stitch witchery or something like that cut in wider strips. Fusible interfacing is just as good IMO.

I've only used fusible interfacing, and it works great.

I very carefully layer the two pieces of batt, then cut a curvy line, remove the small pieces. Then I just quilt away. I've never had a problem without permanently bonding the pieces, this is inexpensive, and I've found it works well, at least IMO

the only difference between the tape & fusable interfacing is the convienience---the tape is in a strip- the interfacing comes in yards you have to cut---they are the same as far as function-
the tape costs a little more because you are paying for the convienience of it's form.
just like purchasing pre-cuts instead of yardage....you pay a little more for convienience.

I do this also, except I stitch the two pieces of batting together with a very wide zigzag. It has worked perfectly well for me as it only takes a little thread. And it probably doesn't take any more time than joining the two pieces with a fusible.

I use the tape. It's more convenient and saves time. I don't fuse all the length of batting. Just every six inches or so.
