I have been reading about how some of you zigzag batting pieces together on your sewing machine. Doesn't the batting get stuck in the feed dogs? I would be afraid to do it for that reason. Thanks.

I butt the two pieces together and use a fairly large zig zag to join them. It works best on cotton and cotton blend batts and I match the thread colour to the batt. I have no trouble with the batt going into the feed dogs.

If its a poly with loose fibers I have had the fibers catch on my foot. I use my walking foot on that type... if its really high loft I use my walking foot use a wide zig zag and put a strip of tissue paper over the strip ( I cut about 1 inch wide) then tear of once joined.
On cotton battings I have never had a problem using a wde zig zag and butt the two pieces together.
