I but the edges to be joined together, and start at the left end of the join. I use a ve-e-r-y long double thread in a longer hand sewing needle. A "darner" works well. Using a Herring bone stitch, I take a stitch on one side of the butted together edges, and then on the other side. I have a picture of my actual work, using a white thread with the white batting. This is on 11oz polyester batting, but the techniques works on just about any weight.
I case the picture isn't clear, I did a little sampler using black thread.
On the reverse almost nothing can be seen. This is the side I would put against the top of the quilt.
