Unclear Directions
I made this but struggled with the directions. They should read "Cut two 4" x 25" rectangles for short side,"...not '4" x 37'..." Also, sewing the side pieces together forms a band, not a "tube." Keep the zipper foot on for all steps involving the cording. Be aware that the Poly-fil Pet Bed Insert is for dogs of 40 lbs. maximum weight.
