I don't sew or use the joining tape when I spray baste or when I'm using fusible batt. If you get the pieces butted well without any overlaps, then spray, the fabric you put over it will hold the joins together.

it you will not have trouble in the future, with the batting curling up or shifting, especially in the washer or dryer!

I slightly over-lap the pieces, then take your rotary cutter and ruler and make a straight cut thru both over-lapped pieces and you'll get them both perfectly straight to butt up against each other-I then just machine zig-zag them together with a fairly wide and not too close together stitch or it will pucker. Never had a problem doing it this way.

Over lap the two pieces about 2". Cut a wavy line down the center of the overlap from top to bottom. Remove the smaller sections of both overlaps and butt the two larger sections together. That way when you sew them together, the joining seam will not form a straight line and will be less noticibeable.
