You can transfer feathers from one pillow to another by hand stuffing the feathers, using a large plastic to contain the feathers as you transfer, or using a cardboard tube with an air compressor to move the feathers. It can be quite a daunting task to do, but if you want a fluffier pillow than that flat one on your bed, there are possible ways to stuff more feathers into another pillow without making a huge mess. Feather or down fill is a very light material, so you should create a plan to transfer the fluffy fill without them flying around the room. Here are some successful attempts at transferring feathers or down from one pillow to another. Hand stuff the feathers to another pillow When using this method, you must be ready for your area to get messy. It would be better to do it in an enclosed area such as a closed garage or a studio where the lightweight feathers will not get blown by the wind. Avoid windy and open-air spaces. You will need a seam ripper, a big binder clip, an old feather pillow, a new feather pillow, and a sewing machine. Get the old pillow and make a hole at one of the shorter sides. It would be best to open the pillow in the area where the product labels are attached. Make a 6-inch opening using the seam ripper. Use a binder clip to close the hole on the old pillow temporarily. Next, open a 6-inch hole at the new pillow with the seam ripper at one of its shorter ends. Place your hand inside the new pillow, grab a handful of feathers and stuff it into the old pillow. Keep adding feathers until you are satisfied with how dense the pillow is. Clamp the hole shut on the old pillow, then shake down the feathers away from the sewing area. Sew the opening using eight to twelve stitches per inch using a sewing machine. Make four back stitches to ensure that the opening will not burst open when loaded on the washer when it needs to be laundered in the future. Sewing by hand is highly-discouraged when closing the opening of a feather or down pillow. Use a large plastic bag Ticking encases the feathers or down of a pillow. You can wash pillows with feathers or down so the old ticking can still be used. You can transfer feathers from a new pillow to your old pillow using a large plastic bag. Start by placing the old pillow and the new pillow inside the large plastic bag. Cut a hole on the old and new pillow, around 6 inches each. Transfer the feathers from the new pillow to your old pillow. Or both pillows can each have a half of the old and new feathers to add volume for each pillow. Transferring feathers or using a large plastic can avoid the mess of flying feathers everywhere. After transferring the feathers, you can now close the holes by sewing on the seams using a machine. Using a cardboard tube and an air compressor With this method, you will need a recycled fabric cardboard tube, an air compressor hose, and a drill to transfer feathers into the ticking without making much mess. First, make a hole on one side of the cardboard tube using the drill. Make a hole big enough to stick the tip of the compressor tool that will suck the feathers and blow them into the pillow. Place one end of the tube at the small opening of the pillow and the other end at the source of feather and down. The air compressor sucks the feathers into the tube and transfers them inside the ticking. Fill the ticking with feathers until you reach the desired fluffiness for your pillow. Blowing the feathers through the tube avoids wasting too much fill than stuffing by hand. It also prevents the down and feathers from sticking to any surfaces other than the insides of the pillow. Whichever way you choose to transfer your feathers from one pillow to another, make sure to make the most out of these natural and luxurious fillers to enjoy comfort and style for a long time.
