That's one of the reasons to do a very gentle curve, not a tight one, so the feathers won't get so long and difficult to keep smooth and even. <br /><br />The only time the angle to the spine is the same in each feather is when they are built on a straight spine. Then they are evenly spaced, same angle, etc. On curves, anything goes, just so long as they blend and merge in with the curved spine in a pleasing way.Diane Gaudynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164789327167957184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-84957294189973802792012-02-06T07:43:44.469-06:002012-02-06T07:43:44.469-06:00Dear Diane, thanks so much for your guidance.

I fear, I become still a serious quilter, instead of scratch - scratch ;-))<br /> I have many questions, but unfortunately my English is not the best. <br />But I try it: I get difficulties if Paisleys "Pharynx" (?) becomes very long - thus if the angle is very steep in relation to the Spine. Or as an other example: your 2. Photo, right side, 2nd feather from above. Then the distance between the begin und the end from this plum paisley (on the Spine) may be quite large. This is so correct? I hope, you understand what I mean and must not reading tea leaves.<br />:-)<br /><br />Thank you very much<br />your moehi in feather feverAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-56815251549977569232012-02-05T19:21:57.112-06:002012-02-05T19:21:57.112-06:00Thanks Diane for the tutorials!

The instructions you have given have been so helpful and I'm finding the whole experience enjoyable despite all of the misshapen forms I have been creating.Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04762314196700185121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-71935724170843984392012-02-05T19:00:41.776-06:002012-02-05T19:00:41.776-06:00Hi Diane,

It's nice because you are only doing one at a time, concentration can be kept for that one plume much more easily than an endless line of them. <br /><br />I found that my students who were new at this could do this far more easily than a daunting long line of them. A "built-in break" is part of this when you stop, cut thread and decide on the next one. This break helps you refocus and keep plumes looking great.<br /><br />At corners, curve a plume around it, facing in, and space them so there is one plume in each corner. Each one can be slightly different in length so this is easy to do. <br /><br />I'll discuss a continuous line of feathers in a future post. Once you get the hang of how to feather, you never want to stop!Diane Gaudynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164789327167957184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348163707540787409.post-72897973991230199352012-02-04T08:50:36.446-06:002012-02-04T08:50:36.446-06:00Hi Diane, this is simply beautiful.

I am definitely going to try this!! It looks so different from a single long feather.
