I love the Swiffer idea and the dying idea. Great! I recently got a needle felting machine and had not thought about being able to felt the batting. I must try that.

I just saw a Quilting Arts show yesterday where they dyed the batting and used it for applique and making quilts, much like felted wool. Very cool and a great way to use the scraps

I use them in my (dry)Swiffer. They clean bare floors great!!

I make small sandwiches of the scrap batting and left over fabric from my quilt to use to test out my choices of thread and stiches. I keep a pile near my sewing machie ready for use. Betty Ann

I often piece together large batting scraps to use in quilts! The small pieces are handy for "dusting" around the sewing area, on the bed of my long-arm, and a quick pick up of floor debris in the sewing room.

I have no problem tossing fabric scraps. But for some reason, I can't seem to bring myself to throw out all these batting scraps. I fold them neatly and have containers full just knowing that some day I will hear of a clever use for them. Any ideas?
