The batting has two purposes. It adds extra cushion and it also keeps the fleece dry. The towel absorbs all the wetness and the batting adds an extra layer to keep the fleece dry.
I sew everything wrong side out like you mentioned. Then flip it out right. Then stitch it up. Sew around the outside, and then do another stitch 4" in to keep everything in place. They don't fray after they have been sewn.
I wash them in hot water before sewing/cutting them so they are pre-shrunk.
They don't bunch because they are sewn in the middle and on the outsides. The towel is actually on the outside so they really can't bunch. The batting is in the middle.
It is no different from sewing two pieces of fleece together with batting in the middle. Just instead of fleece on one side, it's a towel.
I was previously making them with fleece on either side, two layers of batting and a towel in the very middle. THey took much longer to dry, but even then the towel didn't bunch. It all depends on how you stitch it.
I use them in my cages with no issues, in fact they are a huge time saver.
I've had many many people place repeat orders on them as well, so there doesn't seem to be any problems with them.
I hope this answered all of your questions and thank you for the compliment.
