Thanks for the tips. I bought some poly thread to use on them...poly batting too. The seat cushions are going to be made out of Outdura canvas, which I've sewn on before, but I want to make the accent pillows out of Sunbrella poplin, which is much lighter and easier to work with. I imagine that my iron will have to be on a very low setting. I may get some fray check too to use on the cut edges.
