The beginning was too funny. It looked like you had come into my sewing room and found my bags of leftover batting,😂lol. Great ideas for organizing them. Whenever I am finally back on my feet, I will try to tidy up. Love your channel.

I make Frankenbatting .. sometimes a little tedious, but it works and leaves little waste :0)

@sallyschilling1559 11 месяцев назад

What is Frankenbattin? Never heard of it.

@IndecisiveQuilter 11 месяцев назад

@@sallyschilling1559 using a zigzag stitch you butt straight edges of batting together into larger pieces. Works great.

@chikinrancher 11 месяцев назад

It's a play on Frankenstein .. he's all stitched up and so is pieced batting .. Frankenbatting 😉@@sallyschilling1559

Good ideas. I like the masking tape. Thanks for the video 😊

@michele.the.quilter6174 11 месяцев назад

Love the masking tape idea! My friend labels hers with paper and a pin. This is much better! 🧵💕🧵👏👏

@debbiebrugman4543 11 месяцев назад

Love the masking tape tip. Brilliant. For larger pieces of batting I will Frankenstein them together to fit quilts. And the smaller pieces I use for placemats and mug rugs. I store them in two large clear plastic containers labeled “quilt size” and “small bits”. Great video.

@IndecisiveQuilter 11 месяцев назад

I do this, too😀

@debralucca7527 11 месяцев назад

I also do this. I use the small unusable pieces as stuffing for pet pillows.

@debralucca7527 11 месяцев назад

Katrina, you are great! I love your tutorials. So helpful! Thank you ❤️

@wandawalker4191 11 месяцев назад

I use my small pieces to separate my plates/bowls in our camper.

Thank You Katrina! What a fantastic way of organizing the chaos😝 ❤️😀

Love the masking tape tip!

@allybryant9266 4 месяца назад

I buy tape and tape smaller pieces into pieces suitable for charity crib Quilts. Or you can zig zag together if you can't find the tape.

@lindacajigas3315 11 месяцев назад

What about squib your smaller scraps together? I do that for wallhanging i make for myself. Just butt them up together, and zigzag stitch them together. Great ideas for labeling them.

@catherinecearns9002 11 месяцев назад

I cut strips and keep for bad handles - also join pieces to make bags/pencil cases etc if I have accumulated large amounts I bag and take to my sit n sew for anyone to use

@eileen867 7 месяцев назад

Hi Ladies ... really enjoying your channel! So glad i found you!

@Carylanne927 11 месяцев назад

Yep, this is great deal of money in a bag. Years ago, another gal from my quilting Bee brought in bins of batting as a show and tell. Well, I can tell you she hit me with the idea to organize these scraps. I label each piece, and bin them in like sizes, as well as strips from the quilts. I even take an evening, listening to audiobooks, and remove fabric from the batting. Now this does take time, however, you can imagine all those 4-5" strips of backing fabrics, that are now ready to use in projects. I have several bins, cotton, 80/20 and even wrap n zap, each bin is ready for use. Love this. thanks

I Can Definitely Learn from You ❤❤❤

@terrigerald4171 4 месяца назад

I love this!! Mine looks like the ones at the beginning 🤦🏼‍♀️

@estelasteele1173 4 месяца назад

Brilliant! I'm not sure why I hadn't thought of this before. Once one has caught up all the current scraps, it will be so much easier to measure and label as we create the left over. Thanks for the wonderful ideas. P.S. Smaller pieces can be used for "mug rugs" if you make those.

@JuanitaHooker-wx9up 11 месяцев назад

Great idea!!!! ❤

@barbgardner5549 11 месяцев назад

I cut mine evenly,measure them,fold them neatly,and mark with paper and pin. Masking tape tends to pull batting when removed. Stack with like measures.

@Marlenemaise72-cc2dt 11 месяцев назад

I too am a lefty❤Love all your tutorials ❤

@carolhiller1112 4 месяца назад

Pieces that are really small I chop up into tiny bits and bag up ready to use a cushion stuffing.❤

@bbymks5 11 месяцев назад

The small squares are good for little coasters or a little plant mat. I do have a question. I've been lucky to find batting in thrift stores, only problem is, they not in packaging. How can I tell if it's 100% cotton, 80/20, or bamboo? I do have some Warm and Natural, and the roll I found is a lot softer! It's 12" wide, and not sure what the starting length was. And another piece I found that's lap size is also softer than my Warm and Natural.

@terrycrawford5778 11 месяцев назад

@carolegroom5161 11 месяцев назад

The small pieces I stitch together till they reach the size I need. Or put it together or towards bigger bits.

@lilliannecahoon4822 11 месяцев назад

If I was going to stack them on a shelf, I would put the label on the fold at the front so I could see the size without disturbing the pile. But this is a brilliant idea, much better than shoving them into a bag and going through each piece, hoping you have the right size. Could you please tell me what the name of the quilt pattern is that is in the background, I love it. It looks like 9 patches and crosses or plus signs. Absolutely love it!

@SewingStudio 11 месяцев назад

Hi Lillianne, thanks for your comment. The quilt in the background is actually going to be a video tutorial released later this week. So make sure your subscribed - all will be revealed.

@pwile2002 11 месяцев назад

How can you tell the cotton from the polycotton? I have batting given to me and some that I bought years ago and I didnt mark it.

@lindawilson3770 11 месяцев назад

Take a little piece and light a match to it. If it stays flat while burning, it's cotton. If it curls, it's polycotton. Also read that the polycotton has a sheen to it while the cotton has a matte finish.

@debbiebaldwin5161 11 месяцев назад

Katrina…great video! Do you ever join your batting by a zig-zag stitch to make bigger pieces?

@SewingStudio 11 месяцев назад

Katrina does, yes!

@jeanetteseymour5447 Месяц назад

Do you ever sew them together

@janwright5844 11 месяцев назад

How do you recognise what sort of wadding it is? That’s what I struggle with

@rosehixon2790 11 месяцев назад

How can anyone just stuff they’re batting into a bag Unless they are using it for stepping a pillow or a dog bed? I’ve always thought of mine and label them and keep small parts in one bin for potholders, wallhangings and stuffing. The larger pieces a label and put in a large bin with like products together. Then, when I finish a quilt top, I’ll look into my large pieces first and Peace that is together with the iron on product or zigzag if it’s a flat enough bat. I always use piece bats for my charity quilts And stuffed pillows for lost children at the police department. I find it odd that people do stuff left over in a trash bag. Our supplies cost too much to be wasteful. It is not the Quilter way.
