I FINALLY GET IT! I made my husband come and see my first successful feather a minute ago. I have been trying to master a feather for months! No one else ever mentioned only going up 1/3 of the way and the half heart. Thank you thank you!!!
I've tried feathers on and off for 7 years! I've looked at dozens of videos, spent hours looking at the pros make feathers. Teryl Loy's video is JUST what I was looking for. A simple feather with some very simple rules to make them look like feathers! "Merge the feather into the spline" and "Go up 1/3 of the way and begin another feather." Those are the instructions I needed!!! Thank you!!
Ive tried many different feathers. This just clicked for me. Sometimes it is how it's presented. Thinking of the feather as a heart worked for me. Thank You Carolyn
You're a great teacher, so easy to listen to and everything you say makes sense. Thank you for showing very clearly how to do this. I've been working all day to get a decent looking feather, and they all turned into ugly fingers. You've set me straight on this and now they look pretty good! Yahoo!
I have watched so many videos to try to learn this pattern and you have explained it perfectly. Thank you so much I now feel confident enough to do this.
Wow. This is a great video. I am getting ready to purchase a longarm and have been very worried about not adding the computer system. This really helped to give me the confidence to take the step.
I have seen other videos on doing feathers, but never looked at them and I am glad. I think you explained in a way that makes sense to me. Thank you very much!
Thank You so much! Best video I’ve seen on feathers! You showed How and Why !! And how to practice on paper! You didn’t just show quilting on the machine and assuming newbies can just get on longarm and do it. Great, great teacher !
Now that is some of the wildest feathers I think I’ve ever seen! Thanks for the lesson and the inspiration. I actually purchased a big chalkboard so I could practice new designs over and over again. I think I spent a few weeks working on swirls before I finally got the courage to try them on a quilt. It was a seamless transition. I did a practice piece for about 15 min and then decided to put it to the quilt. It came out awesome! I’ve done a few feathers on a quilt, but I had to mark it out first. I’ve noticed my freehand feathers getting better. I got a long arm for Christmas and I love how the stitches alone make it look good, even if the form is a little off! 😂 I can’t believe how much faster it is to complete a quilt as well. I did a small twin on my domestic machine with freemotion and it took me three weeks. With the LA, I’ve complete two small full size quilts in a month! I’ve just found your channel and looking forward to seeing more teaching, technique and inspirational videos. I’m off to try practicing feathers again. 😁
Great teaching! Feathers have always intimidated me. I even wasted money on a feather ruler. Two of your tips are game changers . Stick to one type until you master it, and go up only 1/4 to 1/3 of the side for your next half heart. I am now looking forward to practicing and eventually incorporating these designs in my quilts (I have 4 waiting to be done!).
