Wow....now I see that one of my legs is REEEAAALLLY longer than the other, miss "I can't do FM worth diddley"...Those look great! I'm not great, but I have fun trying and ya' know what...most people don't know the difference.. I've checked out Jackie's tute...and now its off to the practice board. You are really doing a great job!

this looks like you did it differently than i did my circle feathers. you mention instructions. can anyone see them? where are they hiding?

Karla, Patti,
I honestly wasnt pulling anyones leg about not being able to FM, :( but it just finally all came together in the last few days..! You can see the huge difference in those two pictures. Jackies OTF's just made a world of difference!!!!!! :D

You do the first feather, then to get the "top" part done, are you retracing to go BACK to get to the top or are you starting and stopping?

Hey Terri, do you need me to draw a danged picture for you???? LMBO I can draw (loosely used term) some really ugly pictures but you can more easily follow the sewing line. I never said I could draw so, no critics here, k?

DUH!!!!!!!!! NOW I GET IT!!!!
See? I just needed a GOOD drawing! lol
What I was seeing in the other one was....doing a feather, then start and stopping to do the top of it. NOW it makes sense!!!
Ok, I'm a little dense at times.....
<where's my coffee? anyone see where I put my coffee?>

OMG! I can't tell you how many times I have to look around for my coffee. What's up with that anyway??????????? LMBO

Happens ALL the time. Even when I KNOW it's happening, I can't make myself see it correctly. It's like getting up in the morning with a song in your head and being stuck with it all day long.
