I'm not a sewer, but found some fabric I really like and want to have
some throw pillows made for my couch. I figured I'd find all the
materials and then find a person to sew them from Craigslist. What do
you suggest using to fill the pillows? I want to make sure they do not
clump or lump and that they will last for several years. Something soft
and comfy and high quality. What do you recommend?
Thanks!
Adam

I have been happy with purchased pillow forms as mentioned above, and also
with
using polyester stuffing that you stuff into the cover yourself, bought at a
fabric store.

just don't toss pillows made with poly stuffing into the
washer. then you will have lumpy pillows.

I've never used a pillow form. I always use Polyfil. When the pillows are
made, if they need to be washed, I tie them in a pillowcase and wash by
machine, dry by machine, fluff them up, and they're fine.
