    Speaking of fusing batting together..... someone gave me 3 bags of 90X109" fusible batting . I don't know if I want to use it on my frame. Has anyone used this type batting on a quilting frame with a machine? It seems stiff. I am thinking it would work well for those who do Quilt-As-you-Go blocks. I may put this up for grabs unless someone can convince me that it will work OK. I don't think it would be easy for a hand quilter to use. But I don't do that either!

    Do sort of feather stitch ,works well.

    I won a roll of the batting interfacing but haven't tried it out yet. (Been thinking of using it on my furniture where my cat's have shredded the fabric. They think it is their own personal scratching post)

    So far I just use my egdejoing foot and zigzag them together. Works fine for me.

    What I have done, lay both pieces, one on top of the other and make a clean cut through them both... then butt them up and zigzag them together. I found that works superbly :)

    I got a roll of the fusible for batting pieces. it doesn't seem to stay on well and evidently is only good for a short time. until you sew it together one way or another.
