On my last quilt shop visit I bought a new product to try…. Heat Press Batting Together.
I thought I would give you a little review….
The product is designed to help quilters use up scrap pieces of batting. Â I tried it out using Warm and Natural. Â To use it I took two pieces of batting. Â I trimmed the edges to make straight lines. Â I butted the seams together, put the tape over the top and ironed it down. Â It worked PERFECTLY. Â I really liked it.
Typically I have been a person who zig zags my batting scraps together. Â It seemed no matter how hard I tried, it wasn’t perfectly smooth. Â This product was WONDERFUL.
10 yards came in a package for $8. Â Estimating that I making quilts that are about 90 inches, I would need 2.5 to 3″ yards for each quilt. Â It figures out to be 80 cents a yard or about 2.25 per quilt depending size. Â I personally think it is worth it.
But…if I ran out, I wouldn’t wait on a project until I got some….I’m not that much of a perfectionist, the quilt shop that carries it is an hour away, and I am not patient. Â I will however pick up two packs of it next time I am at the quilt shop…then hopefully, I won’t run out! Â Here’s a link to the company website if you want more information.
Sounds genius! Thanks for sharing! Will check my LQS to see if they have it.
Thanks for the review.
I love this! I’ll have to look for this when I’m out next time. I, too, am an hour from my quilt shops. :\ Probably is best that way….
Thanks for sharing. I’ll probably buy some too, that will be very useful.
Thanks so much for sharing…you often see things like this in the shop and wonder if they really do work!! Now we know to keep our eye open for it!! Thanks again!

I did what you did AND plan to do what you found to work! Thanks a bunch for bringing me this product. Sandi
Have you quilted thru it yet? Just curious.
I haven’t seen or heard of this product before.. if I join batting it usually is a disaster, so this is definately worth a go.. of course we probably wont get that tape down here for years, but I’ll look for it online!

Interesting – never heard of it before, but will probably need it in the future cleaning up my leftover batting pieces…. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the review. I was out just last night to buy batting because I didn’t have a piece big enough. This would have helped. Of course, I came home with batting AND fabric!
I have used this product and it is great. After making the project you can’t find where the batting was seamed. I carry it in my shop
and find a lot of people like it.
