Hampton Quilted Quilt Cover Set - White
An all-over embroidered and quilted quilt cover in cotton sateen, framed by an 80mm mitred border with fabric-covered corded piping run into its edge. Closed with concealed buttons on a placket, with two matching quilted pillowcases included. Gift boxed.
Description
Hampton is the most worked of the quilted covers: embroidered as well as quilted, with a corded piping run into the border. It gives a plain white bed a great deal of surface detail without introducing colour or pattern.
The mitred border runs down both sides and adds 16cm to the finished width, which is what gives it a proper drop over a deeper mattress. Used with a quilt inside it works through winter; with the quilt removed it becomes a lighter layer on its own.
What's included
Each quilt cover set includes one quilted quilt cover and a matching pair of quilted pillowcases with concealed button placket closures.
European and bordered pillowcases are sold separately and share the same quilting and piped finish.

Fabric & construction
The border and the piping
The border is 80mm and mitred at 45 degrees, with a fabric-covered corded piping run into its edge over a 1.5mm soft cord. The piping is made before the border is: covered through a folder with a piping tube, stitched to the border edge, then folded over to form the piped edge. A Queen takes 8.45 metres of it and a King 9.15 metres. Running down both sides, the border adds 16cm to the finished width of the cover, and that width is what gives it a proper drop over a deeper mattress.
The embroidery and the closure
Hampton is embroidered as well as quilted, the design worked across the whole face in 100% viscose rayon thread on a fine 70/10 to 75/11 embroidery needle. The standard it is made to requires no bobbin thread visible from the top side, no bruising or pressure marks from clamping, and any repair made from the back rather than the face. The back of the cover is plain. The closure is concealed buttons on a placket, 18mm, colour matched and non-corrosive, spaced at 200mm so the opening pulls evenly across its width.
A Queen carries eight and a half metres of covered corded piping. Every metre of it is made and inserted before the border ever reaches the cover.

Care
Machine wash 30 to 40C
Wash with a mild liquid detergent and rinse well. Avoid fabric softeners, which coat cotton fibres and flatten the quilted surface over time.
Line dry or tumble medium
Line dry out of direct sunlight, or tumble on a medium setting.
Iron on the reverse
Iron the embroidery on the reverse at a medium temperature.
Do not bleach
Bleach and optical brighteners are not suitable for the sateen face, the embroidery thread or the piping cord.
