:?: Can anyone tell me if it's workable to piece an extra piece of batting onto a full piece..when thee piece of batting isn't quite long enough. I have done this using a butt-seam but I'm worried it will work loose or make lumps later on. Thanks for helping

I've heard it suggested to cut the two pieces that you want to join...
1.at the same time, by overlapping one on top of the other just a little ways in, like maybe an inch?
2.with a rotary cutter
3.in a long curvy line.
Then butt those two curvy lines up against each other instead of just butting two straight lines up against each other. And zigzag just as was suggested above. I've heard the curvy line helps to eliminate bunching at the point where it's zigzagged together.

I have joined them with the wavy line it works great. The first time I joined them it was not my intention to make it wavy I just don't cut to straight sometimes. It worked so good that now I cut that way on purpose
