When I first started quilting feathers on my Bernina I did draw them out or use a template. That really got old so I made myself practice on paper every night until I could finally do it. I just kept quilting them on quilts free hand also even though they were far from perfect. One day it just clicked and I finally got it. It took a while. I filled 4 large drawing books with feathers. They are fun to look at now. Reminds me that I will improve.
