I do not prefer pillowcase method because things can shift during quilting and if youve already sewn the edges you may have issues.
i used this method with a bunch of cat beds that i made and nothing shifted. you anchor the batting down by sewing around the edges so that is does not shift. once i turned the sandwich inside out, i sewed around the edges to make sure it did not move and then i did a few tacking stitches in the middle so that the pads would endure washing. i have washed the ones i kept for my furbabies with no batting issues.
