Need Tips on Making Deluxe Quilted Doggy and Kitty Beds
#11
What I do is to make a pillow case, and then sew channels into it, to stuff. The channels are so that the stuffing doesn't get bunchy. I make sure that they are pliable enough to fit in a washer/dryer. I stuff with batting scraps and small fabric scraps.

They really don't want to mess with having to remove casings then have to match up later. Couple of my towels tore at the ends but being large towels I was able to bind so it wouldn't fray. I sew a large piece or couple and cross hatch or linear stitch 2 fabrics together. Easier to wash. So I agree with tesspug. easy does it.

I'm not looking for shelter beds, but big, thick beds to make for my 2 large dogs, as well as two, smaller, cozy beds for my 2 cats. As I said before, one of my dogs is incontinent, so I need to find some sort of waterproof material for the top of the cover. I must also be able to remove the cover frequently, so that I can wash it. The kitty beds should also have a removable cover, so that I can wash the cat hair and dirt that accumulates. (It's amazing how much dirt they make, even though they're just little cats.) Thanks for all of the tips.
