I got my vest - I don't see two linings, how do I get the quilted off and only use the thinner lining for summer?

It's not two separate linings. The outside is one texture and the inside is quilted and it's all one piece and is nicely made.

Another possibility is to have a local seamstress make you a replacement. I had to do that with the cuffs on a jacket of mine.

I'm not sure about the laundry instructions. There are zippers on both sides and the flannel line isn't removable

You iron it on the back side of your fabric, then peal off the paper and iron it on to another fabric. I've used it for making appliques on quilts squares.It works great!

I would probably use this vest in conjunction with gel packs. The individual ice pockets are joined together in sheets, but the pockets are fairly small, so they 'melt' quicker than gel packs. That being said, though, I LOVE my vest. I don't use it nearly as often as you have to, but it works well for me in the summer. If you only ice your back, you can keep the two front panels in the freezer while you use the back panel, then keep switching them out as needed. Use the gel packs in between if the vest packs don't refreeze fast enough. I hope this helps!

I have wondered about the same thing. On my quilt I am just using a primitive/running stitch with thicker thread, but it hasn't seemed to affect the other stitches.

Hi Henry, I just folded over the edge, as may time as feasible, then attach your grommets. No need to sew, in my opinion.

The inside lining is not removable. You can probably wipe it down with a damp cloth. The removable mattress seems to be made out of a polyester or a blend. I would probably attempt to machine wash.

It's too big to put the entire thing inside a machine. I suppose you could remove all the quilt stitches and remove the outer cover (there is a zipper) and wash the cover. But I can't imagine trying to redo the quilt stitches. I usually make sure I throw a sheet or cover over it in the hopes of keeping it from getting dirty.

Hi there. I took a good look at the front and back and it looks like you can do this. There are two rows of stitching for each section and the threads are fairly thin - you will need to use a seam cutter (sewing item). It does look as if you can remove them and create one large section. Note - there is a zipper for both sections and the bottom one is close to where the section starts - does not look like it would interfere with your trying to make this a one section bag - just don't open the bottom zipper.Regards

There is a thin, felt-type lining but my guess is it isn't anything "special." Regardless, I am very happy with this purchase!

Although I had Amazon mail them directly to my granddaughters, if you can enlarge the photo found at Amazon.com, you can see that there is some sort of edging to keep the cloth from fraying. Sorry I cannot be of more help

I used quilt batting. I bought a cheap roll of quilt batting, cut it to the width of the hangers and cut an inch or two long to roll around the hanger. I rolled a bit around the hanger and stapled the batting to secure it. I've been using mine like this for years - four states and 2 countries.

For me, one side (the one with the tail) had a lot of wrinkles but the other side didn't have any, so I just used the side with no wrinkles. If they both have bad wrinkles, I suppose you could slide an ironing board underneath the chromakey (without standing the board up), and iron it the same way you'd iron clothes.

It's a lightweight quilt. I use it all year round and just pair it with a couple of blankets in the winter, as I prefer layering lighter layers due to my tendency to overheat with heavyweight comforters/quilts. I also live in Central Florida and even in the middle of winter we'll have random warm days, so it's easier to remove a couple of blankets rather than swap out a heavy quilt for a light one for just a night or two. If you prefer a single heavyweight quilt in the winter, this wouldn't be a good winter choice for you. For reference, I usually keep my thermostat between 65-68 during the winter.

We replaced our padding with pipe insulation, and then sewed a fleece cover - a long thin tube - to protect the new padding. My friend did this when hers was new, and has the original padding underneath the cover.

I used fabric glue and fabric glitter. I did two coats. It turned out beautiful! DO NOT IRON these, so iron-on letters won't work.
