Pigma Pen vs. Sharpie fine point? I am going to make a keepsake/care label for a baby quilt, and am wondering if the Pigma pens are really better than Sharpies, for that use. Thanks This is to use on fabric, either satin or cotton. Get a pen specifically made for writing on fabric. Some need to be heat set before washing - test them first by writing on the fabric, ironing it, then washing it. To make it easier to write on fabric, iron it to freezer paper first. This will keep the fabric from wrinkling and sliding around as you write. Sharpies bleed when you write on fabric, making your label sloppy and blurry looking.

Siberian Quilts

There are only a few specialist websites on the Internet that actually sell or provide useful information regarding one of the most highly rated, top of the range types of quilts - The Siberian Goose Down Quilt.

Known in the UK as Siberian duvets and Siberian quilts in the USA these types of Goose down filled quilts are regarded as simply the best quilts you could buy.

Why are only a few select websites offering these?

The main reason for this is because Siberian Goose down quilts (duvets) are a top of the range, high quality quilt with, in some cases, a very high price tag. For a top of the range Super king size you could expect to pay £475.00 ($930.00) approximately. These are usually supplied by High street stores who happen to have a website and sell at high street prices on their site - no savings there then.

These Siberian quilts are often regarded as "out of reach" to the average shopper, until now. There's no reason why most people can't find a good quality Siberian Goose down quilt (duvet) on the Internet. You'll need to do a little digging around the net to find one but when you do you'll be pleased that you did.

They're usually available in 13.5 tog (Winter) or 10.5 tog (Autumn/Spring). 6 tog or 4.5 tog (Summer) Siberian quilts are quite a bit harder to find though they do exist.

Why is a Siberian Goose down quilt different?

Quite simply, it's the quality of the down used. Siberian down is lighter than Hungarian, Canadian, Russian and UK down. Because of this the amount of Siberian down needed to fill, say a 13.5 tog quilt, is less than the other types of down fill mentioned. This results in a lighter quilt with the same tog rating. A lighter quilt would be more comfortable than a heavier one weighing down on you on the bed. Giving you an altogether more restful nights sleep.

Care information for Siberian quilts

You can expect a Siberian quilt to last a lifetime given proper care. Regularly air the quilt. When new, it should be aired for 24 hours before use. This ensures maximum warmth and helps warm air to flow inside it. Shake it from time to time to fill it with air and maximise it's loft insulation. They can usually be washed at 40°C (check the label) in home or commercial washing machines. Use a quilt cover to protect the quilt. Siberian quilts (duvets) are lightweight and easy to maintain.
