I have done it several ways: hand sewn it together, machine stitched it together, used the tape you mentioned, and used fusible interfacing. Personally, I like the fusible interfacing. I cut I" strips and press the batting pieces together.

I've spliced leftover binding by zigzagging and recently using the tape.
The tape was easier to use, but I used it on both sides of the batting just to be sure the "patch" was secure. Not sure that is necessary. I felt zigzagging was more secure but that took more time and effort. |
I just saw some quilt tape in Keepsake quilter and was
wondering how it worked and if it actually held the pieces together on a long term basis. Its 1 1/2 inches wide and its fusible. It says its so soft you won't know that it is there. I like to read comments on this board and than I can decide if its worth ordering. It would sure help to use up the left over pieces. Has anyone ever used this? |
Sounds like an unnecessary expense to me, when butting them together works fine.

I haven't tried it but I saw it on quiltinaday.com. There is a special for $6 for 10 yards.

I love it. Just used it for the first time and it worked so well.
|
I don't know anyone who has used it, but I just straighten out my batting and zig-zag together and this works well for me.
|
Yes, I do the same by butting the ends together and zig zagging together. Works great.
|
i've used it and it works well, but you'd be surprised at how fast 10 yards vanishes. and yes, you do have to make sure and quilt a lot on the edges.
