- I couldn't help adding my 2 cents about duvet covers:
-
- 1) Don't use buttons or snaps at the bottom -- use zippers. Every
- duvet cover that I ahve with buttons or snaps always comes undone
- often, and I eventually put on a pair of zippers:
-
- 2) I use two zippers so that when closed, the pulls meet in the middle.
- This allows for a nice big pocket to put the duvet in and out of.
-
- 3) I like the idea of putting velcro or bias tape at the coreners to
- keep the duvet in place.
-
- 4) My favorite manufactured duvet cover has two small (maybe 6") holes
- along the seam at the top corners of the cover along the side) so you
- can stick your hands in there to help position the duvet. REALLY useful
