Angela Walters. Many single videos and also FMQ Challenge series. One Challenge is totally Feathers and some of the other Challenge series have a class on Feathers. With each Challenge she has free tip sheets you can print and practice as often as you need to. I think Angela Walters is the best.

Patsy Thompson's are well worth it if you really want to learn from the ground up. She is fantastic.
This tutorial is on a long arm, but will work on a domestic just the same Watson . Feathers |
Jeanne Harrison’s Feather Your Nest on youtube was very helpful for me.

And whatever video you watch, you need to accept that you are a beginner. Your work will not be perfect (or even okay) from the get go. Learning any skill requires practice, practice and more practice. Try doodling the motif on paper until you are sick of it. Then work on a practice sandwich.

I found learning to draw them well was key for me. I went on Pinterest and learned to draw all different feathers in a big art book, in all kinds of boundaries. LuAnn Kessi's blog has sketches that really helped me a lot.
Those Quilting with Jeanne feathers tutes on Youtube were also a huge help! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvp-crN6gRU |
