Feathers have a reputation for being the fancy, tricky thing that only advanced quilters can pull off, but this lovely lesson gently proves otherwise. In this first week of a feather series from Angela Walters, you learn the real basics of stitching feathers on borders, blocks and backgrounds, and the best part is that it works on any machine you happen to have.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- It starts right at the beginning. No assumptions, no skipped steps, just the core shapes broken down so you can follow along with confidence.
- It works on any machine. Whether you quilt on a domestic machine or something bigger, these techniques are for you.
- Feathers everywhere. Once you have the basic movement, you can pop feathers into borders, fill blocks and soften backgrounds all over your quilts.
Have you tried stitching feathers before, or is this the nudge you needed to give them a go? I would love to hear how your first feathers turn out.
