Review on 🛏️ Queen Size White Duvet Cover Set by Mellanni - 5pcs Bedding Set with 2 Shams and 2 Pillow Cases - Queen Comforter Cover with Button Closure & Corner Ties - Queen White Duvet Cover (Queen, White) by Dawn Fischer

The microfiber fabric used here is very pleasant to the touch. It feels like microfiber, like satin or silk, but lacks the sheen that high quality linen, cotton or silk should feel. Unfortunately there are several problems. First, it has stains in several places. I don't know if it was used before (phew!) or got dirty during the production process. There are a few spots with black dots, like they used a black marker to mark the spots (did I mention I bought a WHITE duvet cover?). They look almost like a porthole and are a quarter inch in diameter. So not just a tiny dot, but maybe started as a dot but extended to a quarter of an inch. I'm not even sure if I wash it, it will spread more or not. One on a duvet, the other on pillowcases. Another mark looks like spilled liquid food. Brown, like coffee or chocolate milk. I opened this package on my bed, it is still there as of this writing and has not been removed from the bed since opening and I guarantee nothing has been spilled on my bed. Second, it's construction. The problem lies in the firmware. If you know basic sewing terminology, you should know what basting means. (And no, I'm not talking about what you're going to do with your turkey while it's in the oven next month.) When sewing, you have stitches per inch, or SPI. it refers to the length of your stitches and the number of stitches within a 1 inch line. (I'm sure many of you already know this definition, but for those who don't, I'll explain why correct stitch length is important.) Something like threads per square inch (TC), but instead of counting to measure threads in a row per square inch simply count how many full stitches there are per inch of length. The longer the stitch, the fewer stitches per inch. For example, for basic sewing, you should use 10 to 20 stitches per inch, depending on what type of fabric you are sewing and how strong the seam needs to be. For stapling, you would put in as little as possible. More like 6 stitches per inch. The goal is to simply hold the garment together with as few stitches as possible so you can try it on and make sure it's all right when you decide to sew it. Then if you need to adjust it, all you have to do is remove a few stitches instead of 15 tiny ones or so. This stitch count will also determine if your fabric will gather along the stitches. The more stitches, the stronger the seam. A stab of about 6 SPI gives a strength of about 23.6 pounds, and a SPI of 12 increases the strength to about 43.6 pounds. So what does this have to do with a duvet cover or a pillowcase? Too few stitches will cause the seam to fall apart much sooner than it should. The seams have very little strength. Whether you're dragging a stuffed blanket over the bed with a heavy blanket, or shaking and fluffing it, the seams tear very easily under the weight. I noticed right away that they set the stitch length too high. The seams are more like a stitching of a blanket and pillowcases. There are only about 5 stitches per inch on the pillowcases and about 7 on the comforter seams. It's too low and it won't take long for those stitching to unravel. Microfiber fabric is very dense in thread count and should have about 15 stitches per inch in the seams. I sew and before using these items I need to go through all the seams with the correct stitch length. That way I don't have to constantly fix the seams when they fall apart. Another issue I noticed was that the spool tension was incorrect in several places and many sections were badly wrinkled. Some are also creased in other places because of the wrong stitch length. Overall the duvet and pillowcases look very luxurious and once I've sewn all the seams together they make a comfortable bed. It still didn't get more than one star due to stains and horrific sewing errors. Either they don't use inspectors, or the inspectors don't care and approve anyway.
