Thanks for posting that.

if you are using cotton batting, place one piece on top of the other so the edges overlap slightly. have your cutting mat underneath the pieces. Using your rotary cutter, cut a *wavy* line. This creates an edge which is very easy to keep together. Take the very edge pieces off and you will have 2 main pieces that fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Take them to your machine and use a 3 stitch zig zag. you can set your machine so that it is very loose, rather than a tight stitch. It will go together without lumps and will be fine to use.
Hope this helps.
