Sew all the way a round the outside edge with the backing and top facing each other, batting attached to either piece. Leave a space one foot or so UNSEWN to turn the sandwich inside out. I generally make rounded corners---marked with a cereal bowl--so I don't have to be so careful with a square corner. Reach in the hole pull out one corner at a time and shake the whole thing out---------------DONE!

I found a nifty youtube for continuous prairies. Really makes the come out placed evenly. Have a look. www.youtube.com/watch?v=25fnkU7L2qc
