Plain zigzag works well too I just think the d/o makes it all a bit more firm. I use this method a lot, there's so much waste batting with every quilt I make so I join them all up into large sheets again - having said that I never used pieced batting in anything that I'm going to be selling that just wouldn't be ethical. :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-25264874832684634852013-05-18T05:05:03.037-04:002013-05-18T05:05:03.037-04:00Looks easy enough, even for a non quilter like me....Looks easy enough, even for a non quilter like me. Does the double overlock stitch look similar to the finish on an overlocker, for neatening seams?

It would break my heart to get rid of all those left over scraps, you wouldn't believe what I keep and sew together! :)Chris Dodsley @made by ChrissieDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07850681754516767449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084345492228741132.post-58029405494804456462013-03-23T11:04:27.422-04:002013-03-23T11:04:27.422-04:00Chrissie,
