Okay moms, I know this is off topic of our kids and will seem ridiculous but you all have such great ideas and I need help with this one. I bought a new bedspread (it is not satin or sateen) and it will not stay on at night. It flies off the bed in the middle of the night and I don't want to have to return it. It was inexpensive and I finally found the one that I wanted. What can I do to keep it on? Sew felt to the underside so it sticks to the blanket? Sew velcro to the underside (ugh)? Hope you can help. Thank you in advance!
We use a comforter and at night we fold it back to the end of the bed. We have a down comforter on the bed so we keep warm enough. Perhaps if you put more blankets on the bed and didn't use the bedspread as a blanket, this would work for you.
maybe once it's washed, it will stick better? Or maybe just throw it in the dryer for awhile with a dryer sheet or somethin..
I'm thinking once it's been manipulated by machinery it wont be as slick. Just a guess, but a cheap try&fix without having to SEW... lol
Sew a flannel sheet to the bottom of the bedspread. It would make it stay in place. If you sew it is fairly simple, if not ask a local seamstress.
I'm a seamstress and I would charge only $10-$15 to sew it on, so go to your local seamstress and have it done. Tell them you heard of what it costs elsewhere and give them my quote.
I'm in Benicia if you want it done by me. ###-###-####
I can't understand the "flying"...maybe it is too lightweight? Maybe lay a heavy blanket folded up at the foot of the bed to help weight it down.
Or, maybe instead of changing the new spread, you could change the material of the blanket underneath it?
Dear Megan,
I'm glad you found a bedspread you really like, but the truth is, no one cares what the bed looks like while you're sleeping. I would just fold it up and set it aside at night and then put it back on when you make the bed. I have a quilt I do this with because I don't want the cat laying on it and it only wants on the bed when there are people in it. Add another blanket if you need one for warmth and put the bedspread aside at night.
what kind of blanket do you have? We have a polyester fleece one and there seems to be plenty of friction to keep our quilt from moving around at night.
