Save Space and Money at the Same Time!

If you quilt, you have batting scraps. Have you noticed how they tend to pile up?

Karen Brown from Just Get it Done Quilts has developed a method for keeping batting scraps under control. Her process helps to keep her work space tidy while also saving time and money.

How to Organize Batting Scraps

She breaks scraps down by type and size. Large scraps are pieced together to be used in quilts. Medium sizes are prepared for smaller projects and small scraps are processed for use as stuffing and more.

Watch how she does it and pick up a lot of great tips, including how to clean your cutting mat, from the following video.

It's going to take awhile for us to hunt down new sources for those patterns. In the meantime there are many links to patterns on our site that no longer work. We apologize if this article contains one or more of those links and appreciate your patience while we straighten things out. Thank you!

    I actually use chunks of batting as well as a clothes roller to clean up after cutting minky or fireside. It works pretty well. I use it after each cut.

    I cut the batting in the shape of the filter on my vacuum. They work great for this purpose and since I have an unending supply, I change the filter more frequently.
