Regarding batting, she mentions a method that I admit I was thinking about and wondering about as I hand pieced my batting together:<br /><br />"As far as saving chunks of batting to zig-zag together, I’m all about doing that! I haven’t ever used them for a quilt, but it works fine for art quilts, table runners & smaller projects. I’ve heard about the tape but zig-zag stitching seems to work fine & once you’re done quilting on the piece it isn't even visible! When I zig zag my batting together I just butt the pieces up against each other & use a walking foot. I don’t change whatever zig zag width & length is standard & just sew! Nobody ever told me I shouldn’t do it, so I guess ignorance is bliss!! I can’t bear to throw away those pieces of batting that I’ve already paid for!! <br /><br />Your blog is inspirational & you have lots of readers down here in Cody! Thanks for sharing!"<br /><br />And thanks Jan for making the effort to e-mail your comments to me. I love your attitude regarding quilting! :-)The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-58561503922569811132018-02-22T09:56:52.580-08:002018-02-22T09:56:52.580-08:00I piece batting a lot, though not as carefully and...I piece batting a lot, though not as carefully and artistically as you do! Butting serpentine edges together? I tend to think that God wouldn't have made fusible spray if She wanted us to do that.<br /><br />Margaret Ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18048775257764349955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-16668581805019012582018-02-20T04:22:46.984-08:002018-02-20T04:22:46.984-08:00Yes, I frequently patchwork batting….a task I disl...Yes, I frequently patchwork batting….a task I dislike until after it’s complete! Apparently there’s a batting fusible seam tape that makes short of connecting the pieces but I haven’t tried it. Love the quilt…….lucky baby!The Inside Storihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00984299652568523595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-48560667884702116602018-02-19T14:28:47.959-08:002018-02-19T14:28:47.959-08:00I love the colours in the top and the delicious ba...I love the colours in the top and the delicious backing fabric you showed in your last post. As a non-quilter, I always enjoy being given insights into how it’s done.
