Default making a pillow

I am making book pillows and using fiberfill for my stuffing-how do you get the stuffing to stay in the corners nice and tight?

When I make pillows I make a "form" out of muslin and stuff the heck out of it then sew it up and insert into the pillow. It's worked well for me.

I usually sew a piece of quilt batt along the corner seam in each corner when stitching around the pillow perimeter. It makes the corners a little more difficult to turn out but that bit of stuffing stays right where I need it in the corners.

I also tack stitch the corners of the forms into the corners of the pillows just to make certain they don't migrate around inside the pillow when washed.
