Question for our Cottage Manufacturers. . . How do you stuff your down quilts?

[Lupus]

The title says it all. I'm wondering what methods our Cottage Manufacturer's use to stuff their down quilts. I figure those that make quilts have the most experience and I would guess the best methods.

I do know how one manufacture does it. They use a hard cardboard cylinder and do a ramrod type method.
I use the same method when dealing with non-wilderness logics brand down. However, when I use WL down I use this one.

Fronkey's method is what I tell people to use - it's easy, fast and very mess free (unless you slip).

Superb timing on this video I just received my quilt shell from Lost Biker. I'll be stuffing my quilt latter on today. Thanks for the video Fronkey and thanks Lupus for asking the question and finally thanks Lost Biker for making a great quilt shell.

2 quicks:
how many baffles in your quilt
how many ounces of down do you use
WL has stitched ends on those pink bags. grab one side of the bag, slightly squeeze it like youre choking a goose, rip the stitching off that end to open, stick it into a baffle, tear the other end open and push the down in with your hand. helps if you have your quilt shell taped to an edge, such as a work bench or table.

My Current quilt has 9 baffles. This is really more about planning for my TQ that I haven't built yet. I used Fronkey's method for the 9 baffle UQ and was thinking that there ought to be a better way to do this, but I could be wrong. I figured our cottage makers that dealt with making quilts would know and have the best methods with all the experience I am sure they have.
