I use anything larger than 11" square to make dog toys, and now I want to use the things smaller than that as stuffing in small squeaky or cat nip toys. 1" wouldn't be small enough for that, I don't think. I'll have to try whacking it up with a cutter into little pieces; hadn't thought of that. I had it in my mind that I needed to get the scrim off so it would be fluffy.
