I have been using my batting scraps to add an additional layer of protection in masks for nurses. I had some bamboo batting left over from a quilt. I made a few masks for a friend who is a nurse. She shared them and her coworkers and they loved them. I have made 40 masks using the bamboo filler so far.
I try to buy the same product for most projects and keep a box by the machine and join scraps together as I get them. It’s amazing how often I end up with something big enough to use in mats table runners etc
I like to use batting to line the inside of pillows I'm stuffing. They keep the wads of stuffing from feeling lumpy over time. I also like to join pieces of batting together by butting the edges and connecting with a three-step zigzag. It makes a perfectly flat join that does not bunch. Then you can use up even tiny pieces to help make more useful larger pieces.
you can use 2-2.5" strips to make a rug - fold 2.5" jelly roll strips around the batting strips then machine stitch your strips together with a zig zag stitch
I enjoyed both your ten ideas and the additional ideas suggested by your audience. Thank you, friends!
Love the witeboard hint.

Number 11, zig zag pieces together and use in art quilts or cards.

I also keep a piece of batting scrap in front of my sewing machine to catch thread bits on. Easy to remove or just throw.
What about sewing scraps together for smaller projects like placemats or table toppers..
These are wonderful ideas I will keep them in mind for sure.
Great ideas. Keep up the good work.
Thank you.
