I make a straight cut on the edge of each side of the pieces I want to sew together. Then i use the 3 stitch zig zag stitch. It stitches perfectly flat and avoids the 'ridge' that a regular zig zag and make. I piece batting together all the time. It is too expensive to waste.

It's still a zigzag stitch. 3 stitches zig to the right, then 3 stitches zig to the left. A regular zigzag is composed of a single stitch that zigs to the right and a single stitch that zigs to the left.

something like a blind hem stitch which didn't make sense to me. I should read more carefully!

I use a light weight fusible interfacing I buy by the yard from Joanns and just cut it in to 2" strips to join the batting edges together. I cut it ahead so it's ready to use when I need it. It's quick and easy and economical especially when I catch it on sale or a coupon.
