Here are pictures of 2 different kinds of feathers. The 1st is handy for free motion. No tracing involved. A bit more relaxed. The second is more formal. You will see these on show quilts. The trick here is to trace RIGHT on top on the 2nd 'hump'. Not easy! The Hooked on Feathers book is very good. I am an advocate of dry erase boards or a sketch book. I wish you could see my 1st feathers in my sketch book! YUCK! Can you say potato chips and hot dogs? How about bananas!?
