Creating perfect corners can be a bit difficult due to the fact that they are generally symmetrical and centered and getting consistent angles and arches isn't always easy! I love to use my tools to make things easier and I've found that using the square Ultimate Stencil makes creating corner designs a piece of cake.
Fancy free motion feathers and variations
I am trying to change up the way I stitch out feather designs... The plumes on my feathers fit tightly together... The plumes are stacked tightly against one another... The plumes fill up all available space... I love this look. The image below shows feathers on the same curvy vine that have been drawn out differently: The feather on the left has very tight fitting plumes. The feather on the right has open areas with loose plumes. I am making a concentrated effort to create feathers that have a looser appearance... (these images are drawn in pencil, I hope you can see them) The plumes have space between them... This gives the feather a more playful attitude... This style of feather has a bit of whimsy to it... This is a playful feather... Not so serious as tight feathers above... It is difficult for me to leave so much open space. My process is to fill ALL available space... However, after an afternoon of drawing loose feathers, I am grooving on how relaxed they make me feel to draw them out. Print one of these feathers out and trace it... let me know if you like it.

Hi fellow quilters... thanks for stopping by! Before we announce the winner of the Aurifil thread (so exciting) I wanted to share a neat new Free Motion Feather sampler that I quilted on my domestic machine this week. (Of course I used Aurifil thread ;) The center motif was inspired by an Instagram post from Mary of Addicted to Fabric a few weeks ago. After a little doodling on paper and fabric we unearthed the appropriately named "Feather Galaxy" motif. It's sew fun to stitch. ...Below is the back of one of my first attempts to actually stitch it out... Have I mentioned how much I love using Aurifil 50Wt Mako Cotton Thread for lint free - break free dense machine quilting ? NO ? You've gotta Love that thread!! Happily, this sweet motif will be included in upcoming FMQ Feather Workshops being held at Quilter's Corner Ithaca, NY later this summer. You can keep up on my class, lecture and workshop dates on my Facebook events page by clicking here. A Workshop Sampler was in order. I started with a selection of the beautiful Grunge Fabric by BASICGREY for Moda. Oh how I LOVE Grunge - Those Colors!! Just fabulous... If you haven't checked out Grunge you really should... I know you can find some online here. Be careful - it's addicting! Oh! Don't forget to add the 12Wt and 50Wt Aurifil threads (Insert Happy Dance Here !) I pieced a little 23" x 25" sample, starting with a 10" x 12" center, adding a 2.5" sashing and a 5" border. Very quick and simple (you know me and piecing - I would rather NOT ;) Add two layers of Quilter's Dream 100% Dream Wool and pin baste to prepare to quilt on a Janome Horizon. To start I used a walking foot and Aurifil 50Wt #2805 thread to Stitch in the Ditch - it stabilizes for quilting. After Stitching in Ditch, I used a 90/14 Needle, 12Wt Aurifil #5005 to top stitch a 1/4" around the seams. Oh you've got to LOVE the texture and sheen the 12Wt thread adds to the piece... I used 50Wt in the bobbin when top stitching with the 12Wt thread. It's important to use that 90/14 needle though. Next, the center panel was quilted using the "Feather Galaxy" motif (diagram below) and adding a neat swirl/feather vine in the sashing. I kinda made it up -- but I love the way it stitched out. Here's a finish / close-up of the feather vine and the lovely top stitching... Swoon! After I finished quilting I decided to add that extra line of top stitching with 12Wt Aurifil in Color #1147 I really liked the way it framed the center. On the outer border I did a gentle wave bump-back feather - it's always good to practice those feathers!! They come out differently each time. Next time I think a little Amish Swirl is in order! If you're interested in quilting the "Feather Galaxy" motif, here is the step by step diagram I prepared to walk you through it: Personally, I love to practice with pencil and paper before putting it on fabric. When I do quilt, I create small table runners or place-mats with my practice pieces. If you need a good laugh - checkout the quick YouTube video recorded right after the Facebook Free Motion Quilting Frenzy group started stitching this motif. My friend Doreen from TreadleMusic Blog was the first to stitch it once the diagram was out -- and me next. Click the image below to watch on YouTube - don't laugh!! Because I finished the binding while sitting in my car, I don't have an actual finished image (oops) -- but do have these two I took before leaving home: In the image below the binding is only pinned - still love the way it came out. I hope you enjoyed the FMQ Feathers Sampler and Feather Galaxy Motif. If you're in the area I'll be sharing Feathers I and II at Quilters Corner in August -- do get signed up! We'll have some fun! Now onto our Aurifil Thread winner from the Sew We Stitch Blog Hop This beautiful designer Thread Collection is being provided by Aurifil and includes 12 large spools of 12Wt Mako Cotton thread. This weight works perfectly for machine top stitching (above) and for all sorts of hand work -- from wool applique, to cross stitch, to beautiful embellishments. There were 258 entries on the Sew We Stitch - Meet and Greet post and Mr. Random.Org selected comment number 55!! Lucky 55! Congratulations go out to Kathryn -- what a coincidence that Kathryn went to college in Ithaca years back!! Kathryn, I've sent you an email - I look forward to hearing from you! Many thanks again to Aurifil thread for their generosity. What a wonderful bunch of individuals and a fantastic team at Aurifil. On my bucket list at Spring Market is to finally meet the folks that create this awesome thread! I leave you with an image of our granddaughter Angelina - just after finishing the piecing on her very first quilt. She choose grunge for her main blocks and setting triangles - is that cool or what ? This quilt will be showing locally next month at the Common Threads Guild Show in Endicott, NY. Do stop by if you're in the area! So proud of Angelina. Oh, and if you're interested there is one open Giveaway on my blog through end of day April 4th -- you can see it here. Have a blessed weekend all, Karen

Twin Track Method 2 This is my favourite method as there is hardly any back tracking (just a tiny bit along the spine between the lobes). If your feather has a double spine just go all the way round the spine first starting at the point where the first lobe touches the spine then when you have been all the way round, your needle will be in the right place to start stitching. If your screen is small, click on each illustration to bring it up larger. Another reason for liking this method best is the fabric is held down much more between each lobe of the feather and so the 'puff' is exaggerated a little. I had hoped to publish 4 different methods all in one day but it takes longer than I thought..... So there will be another one tomorrow and for a couple of days after. You can echo round the feather as many times as you like to make it stand out even more. Sorry the drawings are a little rough, I'm better at stitching than drawing.... (grin) Twin Track Method 2
This feather variation is related to the basic Longarm Feather, which is formed independently of any adjacent feathers.
