Stuffed toys like teddys. Pack those pieces in firmly, and you don't really have lumps.

I make pot holders out of mine. I make 9 inch Pot holders and use on square of insulbright and 2 pieces of batting. works just right for thickness.

If your scraps are cotton batting and you just want to use up little pieces, they work well for make-up remover pads, in place of the little round pads you buy at the store. I've given these pieces to my DD and she likes them. She did ask me to cut them a little larger after the first batch I gave her. Quilter's Dream make-up remover pads! For those scraps that are too small to sew together, which I like to do, also.

I use my scrap batting in my Denim quilts that are quilt-as-you go -- "Denim Stars" and "Brick Work or Windows." They take small squares or rectangles.

I have shredded polyester batting to use as stuffing. And you're right about it being hard on your hands.

I would use my rotary cutter

I use for smaller projects and put together pieces with fabric for practicing my FMQ. I also put a small piece next to my sewing machine to put little snippets of threads on so they aren't laying all over.

I use mine for small projects, such as potholders.

Another use is for packing for shipping in place of, or in addition to, bubble wrap.

Me too! It is fast and easy.

I used to ZZ small pieces together also. but then I discovered the very lightweight iron on interfacing for sewing garments. I cut it in strips, butt the batting pieces together and (follow instructions for heat setting) then I just bond the scraps together. Smallest make good fillers for mug rugs, placemats, --larger finished batts work just fine in lap and baby quilts. This is fastest method for me and the batting retains it's softness.
