    That is a GREAT idea!!!

    I'm going to have to give the scraps to the hubs and have him try it out.

    Thanks!

    My DD & SIL use the strips to wrap horses legs if they get a booboo or for extra support for hard exercise. Bits are handy for face washers, etc.

    Handy stuff!

    They also make great dusting cloths. I use them in the sewing room to clean the dust off of my machines and to clean the tracks on my long arm frame.

    I use several layers of scraps to make pot holders with.

    I just used up some to sandwich between some scraps for doll quilts. I'm giving a little soon-to-be 4 year old a quilt for her birthday and now she'll have some matching Barbie doll quilts, too! No more using washclothes & hand towels! LOL

    Hi, I don't know the name of the manufacturer, but they put out a tape that you can tape together pieces of batting. I have some, but I haven't used it. It is lost in my sewing room at this point, but when I find it I'll give you the particulars.
