The Quilt Backing/Batting Trick Every Quilter Should Know!

In today’s video, Lisa shares everything you need to know about Callie Del Batting Tape—what it is, how it works, and why it belongs in your sewing room.

Have you ever:

  • Trimmed a quilt and ended up with long batting strips you hated to throw away?
  • Needed to join smaller batting pieces for a table runner?
  • Worried about bias edges stretching?
  • Needed extra stability for cork or vinyl purse handles?
  • Had quilt backing that was too wide but just a little too short? 

This lightweight, fusible batting tape makes it simple to:

  • Join batting scraps into “Franken-batting”
  • Secure large batting pieces for full quilts
  • Reinforce diagonal and bias cuts
  • Stabilize handles in bag making
  • Fix tricky quilt backing issues 

Lisa demonstrates how to overlap batting, cut a gentle curve for a seamless join, and fuse the tape for a smooth, professional finish — without gumming up your sewing machine.

Whether you’re quilting, making bags, or just trying to use your materials wisely, Callie Del Batting Tape is a versatile tool you’ll reach for again and again.
