No, I'm not using a twin needle. I do an echo stitch on the outside of the feather to get back to the beginning instead of following the spine back down. (Another technique I learned from Sharon Schamber videos.)

Beautiful feathering - I love freehand quilting, it looks so much nicer, and you are doing so well!

Awesome and beautiful quilting! You give all quilters who can't afford a LA the confidence of being able to do FMQ on their domestic machines :thumbup:
