Angela, wishing you a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones. You have given us such a wonderful gift each time you share your expertise and joy of quilting. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Angela, we so appreciate your help. And I’m not sure who edits your videos, but we would rather have a longer video than to have pieces chopped out right in the middle of you demonstrating a technique it ruins the continuity of what you’re teaching and for us newbies, watching you do the WHOLE feather from start to finish, is as important as learning to draw it out on paper. Watching the whole thing trains our brain in the rhythm of the technique. So please, stop editing out chunks. The time spent watching the technique is so worth the investment. Thank you very much! 🌷
Thank you Angela for sharing these techniques. I enjoy watching them. I'm practicing drawing your tips until I get my things together to do free motion quilting on my sewing machine. You make it seem so easy. Any other suggestions will be appreciated.
I used the all around the corner with a central single spine. Well it started out with the intention of open spine but wound up in basic mode! However I really like the extra traveling line look in the middle on this area.
Q: I Quilt on a long arm, sometimes when I have to roll the quilt to continue the border I am not entirely sure how to continue on to make it a smooth transition to continue the feather as I roll. Any suggestions or tips? I don't want it to look like a stop/start
Ao excited to be nearing the end of the challenge. I've learned so much from quilting along with these videos! I had some problems while doing last week's quilting with the oil from my machine staining my thread a dark brown, do you have any recommendations for how to clean glide thread?
Re technique 1: if you are making a continuous feather, why not let the stem wrap around the corner and quilt it as one feather? I would still mark the border or boundaries as you did. They are good guidelines. This is how I would approach this look, but my reason for the comment is to find out if I am overlooking something. Are there pitfalls with my approach? Thank you.
Personally, I plan to take your approach, with one modification: I like to mark a registration line perpendicular to my feather spine at the apex of the concave curve, and wrap my petals around that, too. It makes the hard direction changes look a bit like peonies! I think Bold Notion Quilting has a video along these lines.
thank you for all the fun. Off to work on border corners
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Merry Christmas and happy new year to all.
Thanks Angela you are so inspiring

Hit the nail on the head. Spot on, Angela
Amazing! You break down the steps perfectly every time.

I totally agree with all of this.
Thank you for so many ideas, hints, and tricks.
Such beautiful stitching! Thanks for sharing!

gorgeous!
I really like the extra filler at the corner that gives it an interesting variation, rather than the pure feathers.

I love watching you. Is there any way to figure out what order these feather demos are in? Also what day of the week are you live with this?

I use dawn when that happens as it is mild to fabric, spot clean it
Can you get the "extra" all at once at the end?

Hi Angela, which machine is this?
Will there be a lesson to quilt the added on borders? Or are we on our own? Thanks.
