  1. When doing a larger quilt I found it easier to start sewing and filling from the middle and working out toward both ends.

    1. What a fantastic idea! I have been making weighted blankets and have never used this idea. Can't wait to try it. Thanks!!

  2. I use water soluble bags. Some doggy poop bags are or you can order online. Less chance of hitting a pellet. You can sit outside or in an area easier to clean than kitchen or sewing room.

    1. What an ingenious idea! I think I might have some around here somewhere. I have to make a trip to Harbor Freight to get the glass beads and then I can get working on making one.

  3. Please don’t use poly pellets. Those things end up af the beach and in the ocean eventually
