Doing the feather challenge, tutorial and posting the submissions has been so much fun. I love seeing quilters take a risk and grow. Thank you all for participating! Tomorrow or Wednesday I’ll do a recap post. In a few days I’ll decide on a winner.
Dear Teri,


I have been practicing free motion quilting for a couple of years now and I think I am getting the hang of it, though I still need to learn to control my new sewing machine; unfortunately I get a lot of pokies and the tension adjustments do not seem to make any difference. It is frustrating!
My first feathers were awful! I read many tutorials and after a lot of practice I got them looking more composed. I couldn’t get my feathers to look delicate though; they looked stiff and formal.


Best regards and happy quilting,
Iris
Dear Iris,
Thank you for doing the feather challenge.
I love your feathers and in particular your feather centers so much.

Sometime in the next couple of weeks I’ll post a bit on tension to help with it.
Thank you so much for your kind note. I am encouraged!
