When I first started quilting I bought some batting at JoAnns on a roll. It was 48inches by 10 yards for maybe $20. (This was about 4 years ago) I found it was kinda stiff, for my taste, for a quilt. It’s poly batting. Anyway, I used it for bags, runners etc. For these pillow forms I cut 2 pieces 19 inch square. I placed them together sewed around all the outer edge with a 1/2 inch seam allowance, leaving about a hand width opening so I could turn and stuff. One side of this batting was softer than the other I thought so I used the coarser side as my ‘right’ side. Because my cover was going to be quilted, I thought the coarser side out would keep the insert stable as I stuffed it with poly filling, like you use in stuffed animals. I then sewed my stuffing hole up on the machine.
Hope this was helpful to you-Toogie
