If you have a feathered poking out, DO NOT pull the feather out. While we use >90% down clusters, which have no pointy ends and cannot penetrate fabric, the occasional feather does work its way through fabric or a seam, almost invariably quill end first. If you attempt to pull the feather out, the hole created by that quill will widen and damage your item. Instead, carefully pull the feather back into your item by grasping it from the opposite side of the fabric. Once the feather is back in, massage the area to reposition the quill end of the feather and reseal any puncture in the fabric.
