I try to sew big pieces together to make smaller quilts. Then the smaller pieces I save for teaching people stippling, or to make journal covers. I give those as gifts. THen I know someone who sews dog and cat beds for the animal shleters.

Thanks for this info. I had never heard of this product before either. I thought I would have to sew batts together and was concerned about a lump at the seam. THANKS!!!!
