I also would use a 1/2" - 5/8" seams, 1/4" would not be large enough and may rip out with use.

I certainly have learned a lot from your question!! We are so lucky to have such talented people to help us when we need it !!!

That way the "finished size" of the cover is actually 1/4" smaller than the insert size so it is plump without being stressed at the seams. I also taper the corner seams slightly to avoid pointy ears at the corners...hate those. You will need to cut extra fabric if you are making removable covers.

I have made lots of throw pillow covers and this is the way I do it too. This way the cover is tight and smooth.
