The thing you have to remember is that POLYESTER THREAD MELTS!! You have to use 100% cotton thread to sew it together and rayon thread AND rayon bobbin thread if you embroider anything on it. Sulky is the only one that I've found that makes rayon thread. Cotton thread is also hard to find. Remember to use UNBLEACHED muslin for the inside layer and UNBLEACHED batting. You can use any kind of cotton outer fabric. If you follow all of these rules you'll be fine
