(3) If I decide to mix down fill (let's say, from a pillow), how do I do it? Is it feasible to load the additional down into the end of the quilt and smoosh it around to mix it? Should I tumble it in a dryer? Wash it in a washer?
(4) I do not have a sewing machine. How tight should my hand stitches be to keep the down penned inside? Can I use polyester thread or should I find some nylon thread?
(5) If I rip the seams with a seam ripper, will I be able to sew the old seam back together well enough for it to be strong and prevent the down from escaping?
