OK I am going to have to look this up. SOunds wonderful. I think I would like this better than the blue or purple pens. Thanks for mentioning it.

The Golden Threads paper works well, you just have to remove it after quilting and I'd rather not have to! I am going to try the Ultimate Pounce Pad. Feathers can be done without any marking, but it comes with practice and the smaller they are, the easier to me(and I still need lots of practice to perfect).

Your feathers are absolutely beautiful! One wouldn't be able to tell the difference of LA or domestic machine :thumbup:

Follow the lines free motion? That is very hard to do without a long arm.

I started quilting feathers when I was on my regular machine. But now that I am on a long arm, I just make bigger feathers like 8" prongs. I love to quilt fleece throws with outrageous feathers. But I did feathers, feathers and more feathers on my regular machine.

there are many stencils designed especially for FMQ, including feathers. check the catalog on www.quiltingstencils.com There are also mini wholecloth preprinted pieces available as well as stencils for the smaller pieces. These are good for practice.
