I FINALLY GET IT! I made my husband come and see my first successful feather a minute ago. I have been trying to master a feather for months! No one else ever mentioned only going up 1/3 of the way and the half heart. Thank you thank you!!!

❤❤you answered all my questions in making feathers!!!

Finally a great video that makes sense Thankyou 😊💗

This is the best demo I've ever seen. ...thank you, and thanks for letting us know that they don't have to be perfect!

This is the BEST feather demo I've seen yet for beginners - I can do half hearts - you've given me a lot of confidence - thank you!

Great video! Best demo on feathers that I have seen!

She explains it in a way that even non-artists can draw. She is MY FAVORITE teacher.

Ive tried many different feathers. This just clicked for me. Sometimes it is how it's presented. Thinking of the feather as a heart worked for me. Thank You Carolyn

I've tried feathers on and off for 7 years! I've looked at dozens of videos, spent hours looking at the pros make feathers. Teryl Loy's video is JUST what I was looking for. A simple feather with some very simple rules to make them look like feathers! "Merge the feather into the spline" and "Go up 1/3 of the way and begin another feather." Those are the instructions I needed!!! Thank you!!

You're a great teacher, so easy to listen to and everything you say makes sense. Thank you for showing very clearly how to do this. I've been working all day to get a decent looking feather, and they all turned into ugly fingers. You've set me straight on this and now they look pretty good! Yahoo!

Best explanation I have heard about makibg feathers. Excellent!

Thank You so much! Best video I’ve seen on feathers! You showed How and Why !! And how to practice on paper! You didn’t just show quilting on the machine and assuming newbies can just get on longarm and do it. Great, great teacher !

I have seen other videos on doing feathers, but never looked at them and I am glad. I think you explained in a way that makes sense to me. Thank you very much!

I have watched so many videos to try to learn this pattern and you have explained it perfectly. Thank you so much I now feel confident enough to do this.

You are great at this!love this

Wow. This is a great video. I am getting ready to purchase a longarm and have been very worried about not adding the computer system. This really helped to give me the confidence to take the step.

thank you for the video I loved it you are a great teacher

Thank you sew much! You have made feathers make sense to me and given me the confidence to try again! Love your teaching 😍

Now that is some of the wildest feathers I think I’ve ever seen! Thanks for the lesson and the inspiration. I actually purchased a big chalkboard so I could practice new designs over and over again. I think I spent a few weeks working on swirls before I finally got the courage to try them on a quilt. It was a seamless transition. I did a practice piece for about 15 min and then decided to put it to the quilt. It came out awesome! I’ve done a few feathers on a quilt, but I had to mark it out first. I’ve noticed my freehand feathers getting better. I got a long arm for Christmas and I love how the stitches alone make it look good, even if the form is a little off! 😂 I can’t believe how much faster it is to complete a quilt as well. I did a small twin on my domestic machine with freemotion and it took me three weeks. With the LA, I’ve complete two small full size quilts in a month! I’ve just found your channel and looking forward to seeing more teaching, technique and inspirational videos. I’m off to try practicing feathers again. 😁

Thank you Teryl. You have given me the confidence to try feathers again.

I have a dry erase board. Works great and saves paper

You are such a great teacher! Thank you! 😊

Wow. You give me hope as yours are so beautiful! Thank you for your patient teachers heart.

Thank you very much! I’ve been struggling with feathers for years and their not that bad, but you just pinpointed what I’ve been doing wrong...

Great teacher!!!😊 Thank you for sharing your talent!

You teach so well!

Great teaching! Feathers have always intimidated me. I even wasted money on a feather ruler. Two of your tips are game changers . Stick to one type until you master it, and go up only 1/4 to 1/3 of the side for your next half heart. I am now looking forward to practicing and eventually incorporating these designs in my quilts (I have 4 waiting to be done!).

Thanks for the great video and the super-specific tips. I learned a lot!

What a great way to learn how to do feathers. I struggle with them.

That was amazing!

Thank you so much for your expertise. I've learned so much.

Wow....you teach it very well...thank you

Nice video, you are a great teacher!!!🙂💕

Fantastic demo!! Thankyou so much 💖😃

Excellent instructions.

Very halpful! Thank you!

Very nice information!!

Thank you now I know what I was doing wrong with my feathers!

thank you for this video - I will give this a try - I can change out a headlight but my feathers are sad.

Lovely tutorial, Teryl, thankyou! I am curious, what stitch length were you using?

In order to save paper... I just have a "white board" and dry-erase pens... feels far less wasteful!

Great

Your stitching is very beautiful. I really need your advice. please help me I like it very much. I am a Nakshikantha designer Name a low budget sewing machine that will sew like you do

I just can't do them going down.I can get them nicely going up.Different brain I guess.lol

advice Your stitches are very beautiful. I am a poor person and it is not possible for me to buy this sewing machine with so much money. This sewing machine if Uesd available in low budget. Then I will buy. Or you will have beautiful sewing like this sewing machine on a low budget with the name and model number of such a sewing machine. so that i can buy I am a designer. Design with pen on two layers of fabric. I will sew using free mutton on the sewing machine.
