Thank you so much. I'm learning so much from your channel. You are very clear and make it easy to follow along. I appreciate that cause I have trouble with being able to actually learn without being hands-on 🙂
Love your clear creative tutorials, Tamara. I would add 1 more technique: place all batting pieces with the right side up. Easy way to tell: Poke a pin through batting in 3 or so places. Flip it over and repeat. The pin will meet more resistance on the wrong side. It goes through more easily on the right side. Not sure? Keep testing until you get a feel for both surfaces. You want your batting right side up - here and always when quilting. Think of having mercy on your hard-working sewing machine - letting the needle slide through your projects with the least resistance.
1. Do not mix types. 2. Square up pieces. 3. Wide Zigzag, 2.5 stitch length 4. Do not overlap pieces. Snug up close together. 5. No need to backstitch.
A loose zig zag stitch and make sure not to overlap the pieces. Also, use the exact same batting, don’t mix and match batting types. Hope that helps? You could also use iron on binding tape to hold the pieces together as well.

I *knew* saving my scraps was a good idea! Looking forward to giving this a try.

Now that is some VERY HELPFUL advice! Thank you so much. I will be doing this for sure.
Ty i was going to buy more for a small scrap quilt and remembered i can sew the strips i have together. Great to the point video
So easy and it looks great! And feels very durable. I'm using it for my sample quilt sandwich in a free-motion quilting class. Thanks.
That's a great idea Hilary!
