- Watch this educational video if you'd like to learn how to do this cool fill design. It's not as hard as it looks and I'll step you through this process. Give it a try!
I absolutely love this feather fill! You travel along the border and the feathers fill themselves in - brilliant!
I LOVE this feather/daisy style fill. It's easy enough for a beginner with a few quilts behind them. I used it on a twin quilt with two large flower and butterfly prints separated by large squares and rectangles of grunge. It showed up wonderful on the grunge and even somewhat in the medium to light prints. And it worked up fast. During her final days my mother was able to enjoy seeing these fabrics she had had in her stash for several years. I will use this many times in the future. Thank you.
Fabulous. Thank you for demonstrating
Beatutiful! This might be the most inspiring quilting video I've ever watched.
Love this! Thank you!
That is amazing! Thank you for sharing it! I can’t wait to try it!
Some of the most beautiful feather work I’ve ever seen! I’m glad I ran across you. Thank you for sharing it.
Sure is Beautiful!
Loved this 💗
Stunning👍👍👍👍
Wonderful tutorial. I appreciate that you tell us what you are doing verbally along with the text overlays. Very helpful. You are fantastic!
This is a nice variation and you make it look easy. I'll be doodling it to see if I can come close. Thanks for the lesson.
I have used this, & yes it’s always beautiful. Thank you for your videos.
You have just hooked me on quilting by using the freehand style. I've been terrified of trying, but you make it look so easy ... just plan ahead and know in your mind what you want it to look like, then take it there. I love the open spaces that will keep the quilt fluffy instead of hard and flat or no quilting that will allow the batting to pull apart and slide together in bunches when washing and drying it. I think I will have to 'map-it-out' on paper and set it beside my sewing machine. Maybe in 20 years (when I'll be hitting my 90s) I won't have to draw it out first. Your quilting is beautiful ... will have to catch some more of your tutorials ... this one is the first for me.
Jo Ann McCraw awe, you are so very kind. Never be afraid to keep trying to matter how old you were I may get. I’m thrilled that you’re going to try things like this, and don’t worry if they don’t look at it first. It’s all about sticking to it! I have complete faith in you :). The more you’re willing to just give it a try, the better you’re going to get. Thank you so much for such an amazing post. You really made my day!
@@thethreadworksfactory4781 If giving credit to an artist where credit is due, makes your day ... then I hope you have many, many days made a little more special when others express their appreciation not only for your time and knowledge but also the willingness to give it freely to others. God bless.
Great fill and such a
pleasent voice as well, thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful design that you make look so very easy . 😮
Really lovely.

Robyn Christie , thank you for watching! I really hope I can catch a break and make a few more videos on fills and feathers! Have a great day!
Fabulous videos! I just finished making a bird quilt and quilted it with lots of different feather designs. I wish I had found your channel before I started it because you’ve introduced me to some new feather ideas that are very doable on a regular sewing machine. Thanks so much!
Thank you again for your kindness!!!
My very favorite so far! Just GORGEOUS!!!
Rebekah Wilson, awe, thank you very much!
Fascinating feathers, I thank you for sharing your creactivity and cleverness. You tAke the fear away from having to make perfect feathers. I love your method, thank you again
Margarete Jones, awe, thank you so very much for your kind comments! I certainly hope you have fun with this! Take care.
What a fabulous video. Excellent instruction and camera view. Give us more!
Amy Harry, how very kind of you! It’s my hope to make more when the workload lightens up a bit. I hope you have a wonderful day!
Your quilting is beautiful! Really appreciate your comments about how you decide about where to locate the swirls, the size of the feathers and how you move from one motif to another. Your additional captions are also very helpful! Thanks so much!
Sandal Keeffe, how very kind of you to take the time to leave such a wonderful response. What a great thing to wake up to! Thank you so very much. Wish I could hug you through the phone!
I recently used this pattern as a background fill using my domestic machine. I absolutely love the way it turned out! And it is definitely do-able with a domestic machine. Thanks for sharing.
Martha Wilson , i'm glad to hear that you can work this out on a domestic! And, you're very welcome. Have a fantastic day.
Thank you so much I enjoyed watching you . what a great teacher you are
Sally Olsen , thank you so much for your kind comments! I'm glad this was of help to you. Have a great day.
Terrific tutorial! You can tell you're loving the new Innova! Thank you for sharing your technique.
Linda McLaren , :). I can't hide it, can I?! By the way, as a racer, I LOVE your last name!
I was looking for quilting feathers and just happened to see your video. Thanks for sharing! Unbelievable how beautiful this is. You have inspired me! Can't wait to try.
Shirley Hagan, I’m so glad to hear that your stumbling upon this video was a good thing! I hope you find you love doing this and that you meet with beautiful success! Take care!
Love this fill! Thanks for sharing it. I've had a mid-arm for several years and my new long arm is arriving in just a few days. I can't wait to try this out!
Love this concept! I tried it out on paper first and can’t wait to try it on my long arm! Doodle first!!!
Debbie Brug awe, I’m glad this helped you! Have fun with it!!!
wow! this is gorgeous!!!
Thank you very much, Wendy!
I am petrified to do feathers because I think they have to be computer perfect. Your method of starting with a swirl makes so much sense to me. I've only been longarming a short time, under a year and I have yet to master the feather! I am going to practice this! Thank you so much for helping to ease my fear!
Joani Van Horn , I'm glad this was helpful to you. I have a couple other feather videos up here too. Just keep plugging away at feathers and I know you'll get them. I have faith in you! Thank you for your compliments!
Joani Van Horn Have you taken the Craftsy class with Angela Walters? It's all about feathers and is worth every penny....
I'm so glad that you got an Innova, you are going to LOVE it. I have mine for six years and wouldn't use anything else. I also use the red snappers and tape measures on my leaders.Thank you for the videos, they give me more ideas and inspiration.
Linda S. Jones, thank you! I simply love this Innova. I’m so blessed to have her. Nice to hear from you, fellow Innovian!
Thats a lovely way of doing feathers,I am a novice at this though,practice lots do make it look like yours .Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for making this video! It's such a beautiful fill. I've done it on paper several times and I"m going to take it to my machine!
Jayne May , how kind of you! Thank you. I hope you have a fantastic time with this, and I hope you meet with great success. Have a fantastic day.
Ooooh I love this pattern. I haven't the room for a long-arm, but I'm sure going to give it a go on my domestic.
Bobbie Parsons you are so very kind. Thank you! I hope you have fun with it!
I absolutely love this! Beautiful job!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Beautiful quilting and you do make it look so easy. I hope to achieve this level of skill one day. Thank you very much.
Absolutely beautiful girl awesome job !!
Just stumbled into your longarm quilting videos. Your work is really beautiful. I recognize your longarm machine, as I'm also the proud owner of an Innova. They are great machines not often featured in videos. You've provided me with a lot of inspiration . Thanks !
Diana Rosenberg, awe, how very kind of you! I just love the quality that is Innova. They are remarkable longarms! I hope you have a great time with this and have a fantastic day!
So beautiful and excellent instructions thank you so much
Barb lingo thank you so very much. How very kind of you! Have a fantastic day.
I have just come across your UA-cam channel, and WOW I am so glad that I did. Your work is so beautiful and one day I hope to own a long arm. I just love the way you make it look so easy to do and your instructive tips and tricks are so clear to understand and follow. I will definitely give this a try on my domestic machine. Buy the way I just had to subscribe. Can't wait to see more. So thank you so much for sharing your tutorials.
Tiger Lilly awe, thank you for your kindness! I'm so glad you found me :). I'm really hoping to film more videos here soon, if I can catch a break from the workload!
The Threadworks Factory I understand totally, but in the meantime I will play catch up with your previous tutorials, Soooo happy just to watch them over and over again!!!! :-)
Beautiful! Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful. Perfection in being unique! I love it!
Beth Charlene, how so very kind of you! Thank you!
@@thethreadworksfactory4781 I have a stash of 18yrs worth of quilt tops I need to have quilted. After factoring in the cost of paying someone to quilt them for me, I'm seriously considering purchasing a machine to do them myself LOL I can only *hope* that if I do that I will be able, eventually one day, be like you *smile* Your work is DIVINE!
What a great reason to buy a longarm!! I’m sure you’re going to be awesome. If you do get one, don’t be fearful of just doodling. It’s a great way to learn.
Very nice video! I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel. I'm going to try this very soon. Thanks for sharing!
teaquilts , I'm glad you found me! Have fun with this :)
Fascinating!!! Thank you for sharing.
Rebekah Wilson thank you! I am glad that you enjoyed it, and I hope you can give it a try. Have a fantastic day!
I love it and you make it look so easy, would like to see how you connect the two blocks.
Can't believe how easy you make it look. I'll be trying this out when I get back into to my quilting room. Thanks, can't wait to see your next video.
Jeri B , thanks so much for your kind comments. I hope you do give this a try, and I hope you have fun with it.
Love this design, Thanks!
Ann Philbeck , glad you liked it :). Have a great day!
Thank you for doing the videos. It will be fun to watch your progress with you new machine. I have been looking at the Innova machines.
cindy jones, thank you! I can say that the innova with lightening stitch is an incredible longarm! Best wishes to you!
great video, thanks for sharing, I am keen to try this one out when the right quilt comes along.
Quiltmekiwi, awe, I'm glad you liked it! I hope you get to give it a try. It's a lot of fun!
Love it. Thank you!
Даже гарно, професiйно.дякую
Love it I need to practice this
Love this design
You make it look so easy. I've been practicing and it's slow going.
NH Quilter thank you! Don’t fear that it’s a slow go...everyone learns at different speeds and your doing great by exploring things! Have fun with it!!
lovely...you make it look so easy...and Congratulations on your new Innova! ;)
Beverly Wilson , thank you. I think I'll be pinching myself for the next few years!
This is beautiful. What is the throat space you have to work with?
Daria Taylor thank you! This is a 26” Innova.
The Threadworks Factory, thanks!
Спасибо! Очень красиво!
Stunning
Beautiful fill!
Caroline Bizzell, thank you so very much!
love it !!!
Beautiful!!!!!!
Awe, thank you, Lanelle!
Do you use cruise or precise when quilting.
Beautiful. Do you move to different areas to start a new swirl, in the middle of quilting one feather, to prevent feathers all going in the same direction or, is it the only way to fill the space?
You can fill however you like, but you are very right as to why I showed doing that moving on this video. I like the look of them coming from all sorts of directions, and not all piled facing the same way, looking the same way. Both ways look nice, but I really prefer to have them heading different ways. You are spot on in your assessment!
I'm not a long armer, but this really beautiful. I may have to figure out a way to do this on my domestic.
Ingrid Slatta , I hope you can get this to work out on a domestic. I'm sure it's a lot slower to do, but I have a feeling you'd do a great job at it!
Stunning
Cheryl Newell thank you!!
Beautiful 8-)
Sherri Alexander, so very glad you liked it! Have a fantastic day :)
To ease my tortured mind (cause I’m struggling with doing this) How many times have you done this?
Awe, well, once or twice before shooting this, but to make you feel better (and because its the truth), I am a registered landscape architect who has hand drafted and computer drafted for 25 years....I paid my penance in other forms, as I like to say. Don't get discouraged...just keep at it!
The Threadworks Factory Right brain, left brain, some pick this up easily and quickly, some struggle. I’m in the later group.
