Joining Batting-Effie style

A few months a I was showing a customer a method of joining batting I had read about in a book..and it wasn’t working very well.  Effie rescued us both by showing us this marvelously effective, simple, neat and quick method.

There isn’t a lot of information on the web so this  may be helpful for someone else.

The quilting will hold the batting in place so I use quite big stitches.

The method would work really well for patching a damaged quilt and batting. I used my coffee mug and just marked the ‘damaged’ piece and a patch the same size.

I feels great to transform the pile of not quite big enough pieces of batting and I now have a few bed quilt sized pieces ready to go.

Meanwhile Bear naps in the ‘ not quite big enough’ now  day-bed.
