[pct-l] Stitching with Down

[cmkudija at earthlink.net (cmkudija@earthlink.net)]

That idea (wetting down, weighing out desired quantities for each section,
stuffing the down wet (or at least damp), closing the sleeve, then, when
sewing is complete, tossing the whole thing in a low-heat tumble dryer to
dry & re-loft the down) came from Marion Davison (Llamalady) - I'm sure it's
in the archives (if the search engine's working, that is ;-) )

Several months ago (maybe on this list?) I saw a technique for handling down
by wetting it.  Made it easier to keep under control and easier to divide
into
parts for use in a quilt or other project.  It made some sense, though I've
never tried it.  Anyone have a lead on this idea?
