Ticket#19004 You mention you do “soft top quilts”. Do you mean that’s a quilt for the bed or exactly what does that term mean.
Dear Paula,
Thank you for contacting us. I’m wondering if you maybe misunderstood what I said because I don’t know what that means.I’m glad to help if I can, but at what point in the video did you hear this?
Sincerely,
