I haven't tried the batting strip tape. The zig-zag is easy.

I do this too and love the edge joining foot to do it.

Great tute! I have lots of pieces that I have intended to join together & keep forgetting about them. This is a good reminder. Thanks

That works well....

Wonderful solution, much better than the Iron on tape. Thanks!

I've used this method several times; my mom used to do it and told me about it. Love how it uses up leftover batting and some of it gets to be pretty good-sized!

Thank you so much for the tutorial. I was going through my bag of batting scraps yesterday looking for pieces large enough to finish a set of place mats. I did pretty much of what you have shown, but yours are much neater than mine. I will take greater care the next time I zig zag two pieces together, particularly for a large project.

I think this is called a darning stitch. It makes multiple stitches back and forth but very close together. I lengthen the stitch a lot when sewing batting like this.

Had my machine put away but some pieces of batting were found in a container and needed to bring out the machine. Did this method and put 5 different pieces together to make a little bit larger than a lap quilt. I find batting at estate sales and snatch it up if I can. Walked out with 4 large bags couple weeks ago for $5.00. 2 bags were king size with multiple pieces but same batting. Now enough for a queen size quilt. What's nice about the smaller pieces they fit in my laundry bags and made it so much easier to pre-wash.

I have to get some off my left-over sewed together myself to finish lap quilts myself.
