I'm making some down UQs and TQs. I am using down pillows for the stuffing. There are some small "feathers"...downy-like but with enough quill attached that I can feel them when I am getting a fist full off the end of the shop vac. I have been trying to pick them out, but I know I'm missing some. I would have to drive over an hour one way to exchange the pillows for something else and I really need to finish these today. My question is how likely are these small type feathers to poke through 1.1 ripstop? Is it ok to just put them in? I've seen others who have used down pillows from Kmart and places that have just sucked the down into the shop vacation tube and transferred directly to the UQ never actually touching the down. I would guess that some of these types of small feathers were mixed in.
