feather quilting
I would like to get better at feather quilting on my machine (not a long arm) Do most people use a stencil and were is a good place to get one? I have a simple one I have done a little but it is not as wide as some of the beautiful ones I have seen. Thanks for your help

I use my embroidery machine to quilt with...is this cheating? I have purchased many feather quilting patterns from Embroidery Library for $1.00 each and put them into my embroidery machine....resize if I want to...hoop up and stitch! I just started doing this this summer and love it and the results and evidently everyone I show my quilts to love it as well!
I did buy buy some stencils for free motion, but I really am not comfortable yet with free motion, so this works for me.

Ive used my embroidery machine also, but also use my domestic. sometimes I draw them before quilting. Or I'll just draw the spine of the feather and freehand the feathers. I do the same on my frame machine.

After buying several books I bought Patsy Thompson's DVD about feathers and that's was the ticket for me. It helped to see someone quilting feathers. There are many different ways to make feathers and you have to find the one that works for you. I found the DVD at Joann's and I was able to use a coupon. Good luck with your feathers!
