i generally use a *muslin* or other scrap fabric to create a (bag) to hold the scraps---the smaller the better it will *fluff* up- i fill my pillow sized *bag*- stitch it closed- then place that into my quilted *cover*- that way- if it gets to the point of needing laundered i can remove the inner bag of scraps- wash the cover- then *refill* it with the bag- much easier than trying to dry & fluff the stuffing part.
