Most of my stockings call for small amount of batting to lighting stuff heels & sometimes the toe area to retain the shape. Usually less than an handful is needed. This is one item that I never purchase. I prefer to acquire the cut-offs from quilters because it is a more eco-friendly approach...
With each quilt made, it usually needs to squared off or trimmed before the final binding is applied to the edges. These batting cut-offs are perfect for this application. The batting is new & already in small narrow pieces so can easily be torn off in bits to stuff heels/toes of a stocking.
If you do not have friend or acquaintance that quilts, check your community for a quilt guild or better yet, the local seniors centre. Many seniors quilt & will gladly put aside the cut-offs. They are more than happy to assist others with their craft projects....
This is a great way to reuse/recycle & reduce the land fills.
