I love it! The challenge is to prevent the stuffing from bunching unevenly.
Options:
- use old sheets as layers
- use old sheets and stitch boxes to keep the fiber distributed
- the fiber can be drum-carded into batts then laid out and stitched to a sheet or the backing layer

It really helps if you can run the wool through that before stuffing the tick. Otherwise it starts off lumpy and gets worse with use.
You can also pick by hand.
