A fabric batting tape (10) that is utilized to fuse two pieces of material (24,28) together. The fabric batting tape (10) is comprised of a knitted fabric strip (12) having an upper surface (14) and a lower surface (16), and a hot-melt adhesive (22) that is located on the lower surface (16). The two pieces of material (24,28) are placed together, with a side edge (26) of one piece of the material (24) abutting a side edge (30) of the other piece (28). A length of the knitted fabric strip (12) is placed on top of the two pieces of material (24,28) with the adhesive lower surface (16) contacting the upper surfaces of the two pieces of material. When heat and pressure are applied via a heating element to the fabric strip (12), the heat activates the adhesive thereby creating a secure permanent fuse which maintains the two pieces of material (24,28) together along with the knitted fabric strip (12).
