If not done carefully, piecing odd pieces of leftover batting into more usable sizes can produce unwanted bumps or gaps along the joins. TQS member SusieQMcF sent us this clever trick for eliminating those bothersome "joining issues," and we loved it so much that we want to share it with you.

SusieQMcF says, "I use Ricky Tims' Stable Stuff Poly that I have cut into 1"-wide strips. Using the darning stitch on your machine, place a strip of the poly stuff on the bed of the machine. Butt the two batting pieces together over the poly strip. Stitch the batting pieces together as one, catching the poly strip in the stitching. Once the quilt is washed, the poly softens and is no longer noticeable, and the seam is not visible."
