Can A Comforter Be Embroidered?
I just had a customer send us an email asking if a comforter can be embroidered as a gift? Well the quick answer is not really. I wrote the customer and gave two examples of alternate solutions.
Solution #1: Embroider a ‘Corner’ Silk and attach to the lower corner of the comforter. You can have a local seamstress take a piece of satin and embroider it and then attach it to the comforter.
Solution #2: Buy a Duvet and embroider the duvet instead.
Because filled bedding - whether it is down or polyester or whatever are finished - it is nearly impossible to embroider a filled item. There are a couple reasons for this. First - the filling can leak out of or near the embroidery. Secondly - the process of opening up the item embroidering and then stuffing the filling back in - is very messy.
So - when buying or making a gift - the cheaper solution is to buy a duvet and embroider that instead. Actually an even cheaper and maybe more visible option is to embroider the matching duvet shams. Finally - you can also just buy ala carte shams and embroider them and simply toss on the bed - a far cheaper solution. Embroidering shams at a local gift or embroidery shop should run you about $12 or so.
