Working on Feather Border
 

I'm working away at a feather border for my queen quilt on my mid arm. I've never done a compete border before so I had to watch a video about a dozen times in order to figure it out. It's nowhere near as nice as hers, but it will (have to ) do.

2 sides down. 2 to go!

I think it looks great. I admire anyone who does successful feathers.

I think your work is beautiful. We are always our toughest critic. What mid arm do you have, I'm itching for something a little bit larger than my domestic Janome but small enough to fit somewhere in my small space. Please post a picture.

Looks great to me! I can do vines with leaves OK, but sure have problems with feathers...my hat's off to you.....carry on!

Wow your feathers look great, cant wait to see the whole quilt!!!

I think it looks wonderful. so nicely done

It looks great.

I always admire feathers and those the conquer them. Yours are lovely.

Your feathers rock!!! They flow very nicely and you will love them when finished. You are brave for using white thread, but that was the right call. I am always thankful too for you tube videos. I've learned so much by others willingness to share.

The feathers look nice on the borders. They are always a favorite quilting design. Congrats on attempting and mastering the technique.

You did very well. As stated before, once it is all done it'll be fine. I love to do my own quilting, but getting the three layers of a quilt together is the part I don't like.

I think you did a beautiful job on the feathering. I love it. You should be very proud of yourself. This is your first attempt and it cam out looking like a pro did the job. Well done.

practice is how we all improve. when I learned to do the feather stitch, I did it backwards and even today when I do it, I try the regular way, and it looks a bit ametuerish. so... all in all, you are the only one you need to please, and that will come with lots of practice and patience. Good looking work!!

You are doing a great job! I have yet to muster up the nerve to tackle something like that!

Those are looking good, Watson!

Those feathers are terrific. I wish I had it in me to practice, practice, practice. I need patience, patience, patience! You do such beautiful work & are always trying to expand your quilting skills & learn new things. You are my inspiration.

Oh, I think you are very brave and if they are your first feathers they look great. While I am very new to my long arm & still learning I posted a sign that says " Think Cursive " for some reason that helps my brain, Which videos did you watch?

Your feathers look so good. I always have trouble keeping them consistent - it looks like yours are great.
