All I can do is loop-de-loops, Ls and Es and stipples (large ones). Your feathers are great...be proud of your ability and tell your want to that you did it!

I think you did a great job. Don't be so critical of your work. It is lovely.

YES YES YES, we don't need another Charisma, we need Y O U, get over yourself and keep keeping on!

Put "critic" away! It looks to me like want to and ability are working pretty well together and then critic came jumping in! Let patience join the group and you are going to be one dyn-o-mite team! Good luck!

Cograts on the Machine !!

Like many others here, don't be so hard on yourself !!

Relax and Enjoy the process, if it's meant to be, it will be... I have been discouraged before also on several things, but know will get better with time and practice normally does.
Then I'm one that enjoys lg stipples, fun and done.
Happy Quilting

Beats what I can do but I'm happy.

I think it's beautiful. I can't do any FMQ that isn't stippling or loops. I can follow a panto, but feathers just ain't happening. I can barely draw a pattern, pen on paper, how can I expect to draw one with a machine on fabric?

I can only "wish" to make feathers like that..... :mrgreen:

Don't be so hard on yourself, you're way ahead of me.....

Life is a process, it's important to enjoy the journey......
