How to Tie a Comforter to a Duvet Cover

A duvet cover is a fabric casing that covers a comforter. If you have an expensive feather or down comforter, a duvet cover protects the comforter from wear and tear, and prevents it from becoming soiled. The comforter will move around inside the duvet cover if it is not secured. Ties are used to hold the comforter in place and keep it from moving around during use.
