Batting question How many can I piece together?
SouthernStitch   Advanced LA USA Member since 8/24/02 Posts: 8175	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 2/3/13 6:14 PM So yesterday I did a dumb thing. I have a 45x72 quilt, and thought instead of waiting to order or purchase more batting, I would just use two crib sized. Two was going to be way too large, so I needed to cut one down a bit. I cut in the wrong direction, and now would have to piece the batting in three places! Is this a problem, or have any of you done this? I know I can put two pieces of batting together, but is more okay? ------ Bernina 730E, 530, and 350PE Singer 221 FW, 403a When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.

I use the multi-zig zag stitch to sew them together. ------ ~Diana~ ♥ Bernina 830E ♥ Bernina 1150MDA serger ✝The Lord is my Light and my Salvation: whom shall I fear?

Worked like a charm and you cannot tell at all once it's been quilted. Just cut it into strips and iron over the intersection to hold the pieces together (continuously without gaps) and make sure that somehow you get some quilting in that area for extra hold.
SouthernStitch   Advanced LA USA Member since 8/24/02 Posts: 8175	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 2/5/13 3:35 PM I could sew it together, or use interfacing strips. Knowing me, I'll sew it. Do you cut yours in a wavy shape, or just straight? I saw in a Craftsy class on machine quilting, to cut the two layers you are joining in a wavy shape before butting them together. ------ Bernina 730E, 530, and 350PE Singer 221 FW, 403a When life gives you green velvet curtains, make a green velvet dress.
