I bought a roll of it at our local quilt show- it works great. It's basically fusible knit interfacing, cut 1 inch wide and rolled up. But it held my batting together and you can't tell there's any piecing in the batting. I've used it on 2 quilts so far. The demonstrator mentioned about different heat settings for different battings, and pressing not ironing. I wonder if the website mentioned has demos for it? Nice product.

Yes, Kathy! There is a video on the site!

I just that stuff for sale in a catalog this week and was wondering how it worked. I am starting to acquire too many pieces of batting and will have to consider getting some of that stuff if I decide to place an order for other things.

And my next thought after I read the post about it here was, "Dang! Another thing I never thought to invent and I could have gotten rich from it! Just like I missed out on Velcro!" :D

Margo and Kathy, you have all the answers. How great! I have always done the zig zag and it works pretty well, but this sounds even better. Thanks for the tip.

AND EVEN BETTER,

MADE IN THE U.S.A. :D :D :D

Kathy, I use a wide and long zig zag stitch to "baste" my batting pieces together. It has worked fine for the wool and the 80/20 types of batting that I use. I wouldn't trust that the adhesive spray would hold the edges of your batting together while you quilt. You sure wouldn't want any separation! That product Margo provided the link for is interesting although it doesn't take long to sew the batting pieces together.
