'Day After' Tuesday Tip - Use Your Batting Scraps!

I'm a little late because of the holiday, but I've got a great thrifty tip for you this week! While working on table runners this month as I was preparing for our June Creative U, "Table Top Treats", I tried to use up bits of quilt batting I had in my stash. It seemed like I had plenty of useable pieces, but nothing was quite the right length.
Then I remembered that we have a fusible interfacing that comes in 1-1/2" pre-cut strips called Batting Seam Tape. It's the perfect tool for joining those small pieces together! You line up the edges of your batting pieces closely together, apply the Batting Seam Tape over the seam, then fuse it to the batting using a steam iron with a metal plate. The fused-together pieces can be easily quilted through and I was able to use up all my scraps. You'll find Bosal's Batting Seam Tape at all our stores and you'll find me at Creative U at your nearest store, too. See you soon! ~ Crafty Chris |

Doesn't the iron melt the polyester batting? I have a lot of leftover pieces.by Ruthe N on 03 June 2011 at 11:35 a.m.
