Never ever had any issues doing that. Besides, I usually quilt the snot out of them and the batting isn't going anywhere!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719432822327081144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-42004343542547903972018-02-11T20:32:37.847-05:002018-02-11T20:32:37.847-05:00Sorry to hear about the car.

I don't worry about the edges, just use serpentine stitch and stitch down both edges to the other piece. Works grwat, and yes I've used it on the longarm.

I have used frankenbatting for quilts before, but I don't think I have used it when I have longarmed a quilt. I'll have to ponder that a bit more!Yvonne from Quilting Jetgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705160384198590025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-4874693352442977432018-02-03T20:21:01.412-05:002018-02-03T20:21:01.412-05:00I use frankenbatting all the time, but usually lar...I use frankenbatting all the time, but usually larger scraps.
