    Thank you! My 1st time ever doing a duvet and cover. Little did I know I wasn't mentally prepared. 😆 After everything came out of washer/dryer I laid it all on my bed and stared at it for 5 minutes trying to strategize. I thought I had it, began then my brain got confused and I wanted to cry so I searched youtube. It was easy peasy with your instruction! 🙌

      🤣I know i did the same thing! Why is this so emotional for us?! I bought it for my daughter after trying real hard to convince her not to get one. But the duvet cover was the only option in her style. I always heard they were a nightmare. So, i was really hesitant. The first time I did it, it took me 30 min. to watch a vid and try like 4 times. It was the
      California roll method. I somehow managed to finally fit it. Then I had to wash it😩 This time I watched this vid and well I said it on my comment. It worked perfectly. with no sweat and took maybe 10 min.

  • @SamUndJet
    @SamUndJet Před 2 lety +37

    Thank you for solving this conundrum. The second method worked best for us. Our duvet cover’s opening only spans the center 1/3 of the end, so we needed the instructions to insert hand to inside corner of duvet, grab corner, stuff the jelly roll, then unroll. It worked great, though we don’t know why, as we lack advanced degrees in physics.

      @jacksams3028 Před rokem +1

      That's what I was missing on the tutorials, this one included. Nobody mentions the ties and I would like to use them. The corner pooling method allows for this pretty easily. Just tie them as you go.

  • @jan1babs
    @jan1babs Před 3 lety +20

    Another advantage with this method is that when you take the cover off it invariably comes off inside out. I leave it like that for washing and ironing so it is ready to go straight out of the linen cupboard. Also when teaching kids this method we always shout "puppets" with our hands at the corners of the cover and make little glove puppet movements. It helps them remember steps.

    @jjo5375 Před 3 lety +14

    The bed is a king, and working the cover on is a real chore! I have a bulky, but light in weight, duvet, and use the 'corner grab' method. Once on and adjusted, I like to use large diaper safety pins on the corners...through both the cover and the duvet, one on each side, and again where the snaps are at the bottom. Doing this keeps the cover and duvet properly placed, and the pins across the snaps takes the pressure off them so they won't tear. Keeps the duvet from roaming inside the cover. : )

    It took a few tries but the first method worked. I can't thank you enough. It saved me so so so much time. I had almost given up on duvet covers entirely. The second method unfortunetly doesn't seem to work with my cover because it has a very small/short zip opening.

    This is almost how I do mine, I don't screw around. I just grab both ends of the duvet and then shove it right through the opening of the duvet cover, line up both corners and holding on to both still, I shake the whole deal out. The other two corners at the bottom go right into place and then I close the cover.

    That first method, is exactly the way I have been putting my duvet and cover together. I have done this for years. This is my preferred method….That’s a pretty duvet cover you have.

    Thanks to this video, I was able to put on the duvet cover I bought on black friday and was about to return. So frustrated I was snappy and on the verge of tears. I'm able to enjoy my new duvet on Christmas! The other "easy" methods didn't work for me but the corners method is great!
