I purchased some cute fabric with race cars to make pillows for my nephew's new room. I washed the fabric and cut the pillows out then sewed the typical 3/8 inch seam, but when I was stuffing the pillows, the fabric frayed and pulled apart. The fabric just wasn't high enough thread count to hold even though it was made for projects just like this.
I like the great prices they occasionally have on patterns, but other than that, I'd say avoid the fabric.
