Turned and Topstitched"
Refers to the method of making the pads where you put the layers together in a certain order, then sew around the pad leaving a gap through which you turn the pad inside out (which actually becomes the right way), then run a line of stitching around close to the edge, to create a pad with a nice neatly finished edge.

"Overlocked/Serged/Zig Zagged"
Some people prefer the ease of simply laying out all the pieces in the order they should go, and using an overlocker/serger or the zig zag setting on the sewing machine to sew around the edges to hold the pad together.  This is ideal if you wish to use terry or other thick fabrics for the top and is a quicker way to make a pad.
