What size bag would they like filled? i.e. size of animal beds.?
In our guild we either use old pillow cases, or construct new ones not quite as big. Small puppies and old dogs (and kitties) just love them. Due to trial and error, I suggest stitching wide columns first and then stuffing the "tubes". Without any stitching at all, the filling (we use fabric scraps as well) just shifts too much and becomes one big lump. Of course, you could tie them, but that's a little too laborious.
Do you need to cut the batting into any particular size pieces or just stuff the tubes with any size? Also do you know if all Humane Societies accept these donations or should each state check with their own branch?
