I sewed channels and filled them them up a ways then sewed across the channels over and over until th channels were all filled. The teaching staff love them.
That is how I was going to do it - Great thanks for the info - I think we will have to try something other than the poly beads as filler - I can't eem to locate them in bulk :)
