It is the best! Lay your pieces together and cut them w your ruler and rotary cutter so they join evenly. I will never zig zag again after using the batting tape.

I butt the edges together and zig zag with a walking foot.

I've machine-pieced batting with a zig-zag stitch, and the end result in the quilt works really well. One problem I did have once was that apparently my batting had a grain, or something. When I pieced it together, one piece was curved when it had been straight. I figured the two pieces must have had "grains" in perpendicular directions. Hand piecing could solve the problem, but I just grabbed a different piece.

Batting does have a stretch side verus a more stable side. Read this is Harriet H? book on machine quilting. I zig zag my batting together and have never had a problem. Never tried the tape. Would iron on interfacing work????

I use the faggoting stitch on my machine, and zig zag would work OK too.Butt the fabric straight sides together and sew down the middle of the join. It works very well - I never waste the batting and it is not noticeable once quilted. As a matter of fact, a lot of people save their left over batting and give it to me to use!

i just pieced some pieces of batting together using the 'heat press batting together' tape by jeanne harwood designs, and it was fabulous......worked like a charm, very easy and no bump...you could not tell at all after the quilting was done....very good stuff.....gina

I use light weight, iron on, fusible narrow strips,. Works great, and holds it just fine, until I finish quilting. I would not try it on polyester batting.

Me too! It is super stuff.

Go to JoAnn's and buy one yard of knit fusible interfacing, get the lightest weight. Cut 1 1/4" strips from it. Butt up your batting and then press the strips to the batting. The interfacing is cheaper than the precut strips. I do this all the time.

I use iron-on fusible" Band-aids." Strips cut the size of band-aids and iron them to fuse your batting back together.Very cheap and very useful.
