Victorian Heart Company, Inc. imports quilts, rugs, and accessories from China and India. The Indian quilts are 100% cotton and are considered more of a “high end” product offering. The Chinese goods consist of cotton/polyester blends and are more on the “commodity” level. Most of the quilted products are machine pieced and hand stitched. Many of the quilted products have matching shams, throws, pillows, and bed skirts. Toddler throws and quilted placemats with matching runners are also available. Currently Victorian Heart offers over 130 patterns in quilts, with many more coming in daily!
CLEANING - CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Taking care of your quilt will enhance its
beauty and usefulness for many years. We offer the following suggestions to assist you in
caring for your quilt. We recommend these guidelines regardless of how care tags attached to
products may read. Please keep in mind that dark colors, even when pre-washed, can fade or bleed onto
lighter colors. Following these guidelines and dye setting instructions does not make
Victorian Heart liable for damage that may occur. Victorian
Heart can not be responsible for items that
have been washed or dry cleaned, nor do we accept returns for items that have been washed or
dry cleaned. Quilts, Quilted Accessories (pillows, bed ruffles, placemats, runners, shams,

The agitator in home washing machines can and often will cause
damage to hand quilting. It is
recommended that a commercial front loading washer be used. Quilts with crochet
appliqué should never agitate in a washer. The crochet may be pulled loose and
will likely shrink even in cold water.
Before washing the item the first time the dye will need to be set. Set the
washer to Delicate and fill the washer with cold water to the point that
your quilt will not be crowded, but fully covered. While the machine is filling,
dissolve 3 cups of table or canning salt into the water. If the quilt in soiled
you might also add a small amount of Woolite. Be certain all ingredients are
dissolved. Arrange the quilt evenly around the agitator; be sure to cover and
immerse the quilt completely. Allow the quilt to soak overnight or at least 6
hours. After the soak period, allow the Delicate cycle to continue on the cold
setting (Note – the agitator used in home washing machines can and often will
cause damage to hand stitching, so follow these guidelines at your own risk).
Add ½ cup of clear vinegar to the final rinse. To dry the quilt, spread flat
for a few hours (spread a sheet under and over it). After setting the dye you
may want to treat your quilt with a fabric protector such as Scotch Guard before
use. In any case, check the quilt for any spot that might need pre-wash
treatment, being careful not to bleed colors.
Check your quilt carefully for any loose stitches or frayed seams. Most quilts
are pieced together using ¼ inch seams that may become frayed with use and/or
washing. Always make repairs immediately upon discovery. Repairs can be made
quite easily with a permanent adhesive called Fabri-Tac found in the craft
section of most variety stores. Be mindful that it is permanent – use
sparingly and carefully.
The best way to “wash” your hand-made quilt is to spot clean with a mild
detergent such as Woolite and water. It is not recommended to use “regular
home” detergent as it will be too harsh. It is best to always air-dry quilts.
If the tag reads DRY CLEAN ONLY, consult your local dry cleaner and have them
test a small section for color fastness in your presence. However, dry cleaning
is not the answer for ALL quilts, even if the tag says it can be. Dry cleaners
will not set the dye first and they will likely give you no guarantee of
results. Be sure to ask questions.
Return Policy
You may notice a few stray threads or a small unfinished section. These imperfections do not warrant a return as they can easily be mended or marked down. If you encounter a large stain, large tear, or unfinished section, contact us within 4 days of receiving your shipment. We will send you a pre-numbered return authorization label. Any return without this label will be refused. Care has been taken in the preparation of the images of all our quilts. However, there may be some variation between the actual item color you receive and the image you see at our store. Variations, if noticed, are primarily due to the color settings on individual monitors used to view the images before ordering. The red/blue/green color and tint adjustments can cause this variation from the actual item and the image. When ordering from our store please be aware of this. For this reason, all sales are final, no refunds or exchanges are allowed with the exception of the issue of large stains, large tears, or unfinished sections.
