JOANN Hacks:
- Make sure you have a lot of room to be able to work with this floor pillow. There is a lot of wrestling with this while stuffing and sewing on buttons Pull the buttons tight to form the tuffs. Use double or triple heavy-duty thread so it doesn't break when pulled. Use buttons on front and back with large holes so needle eye will go through.
