From Viking times, duvets of eider down were utilized by people on the northern coast of Norway. From the 16th century, rich folks throughout Europe began buying and using such duvets.

for my part, these are pretty much worthless. (sorry duvet donut people) they made the quilt bunch up at the corners, which i discovered unattractive, they usually did not even maintain the cover collectively, which is what they claimed to do. possibly other individuals who have used them think they are nice and love them, but i might not spend money on these again.
As cumbersome as they are cozy, traditional quilt covers usually function one multi-button opening at the backside, and with it comes a irritating journey of fists clinching cotton corners as they feel their way to the far end of the cover’s inside.

Verona, I just took off my regular foot and turned down the tooth that transfer the material along when I’m stitching (there is a name but I overlook) and then slid the material with the button positioned the place I wanted it. I put the foot attachment within the down position to carry the button on (as you normally would) and sewed slowly at a zig zag. Most machines have this stitch and I did it very slowly at first to ensure it was the right measurement to go between the button holes. Give it a try!
