[@DebraAnn-pz4ym]

😮where has this great yet simple feather teacher been?! OMG!!!!!!!??

[@BoldNotionQuilting]

@@DebraAnn-pz4ym lol I'm glad this works for you! Please share it of it's helpful

[@michaeltempleton1094]

I quilt, I draw, I replace car parts, I fix houses, I teach 2nd graders. I look for all kinds of videos and cringe at so many of them. This is exactly my style: no cutesy-ness, no over-talking, no need for editing, no music, no ego-feeding,--just clear, competent instruction. Thank you for being exceptional in the field of video uploads. It was extremely helpful.

[@BoldNotionQuilting]

Lol thank you so much! I have a whole website and online classes if you need more!

[@debbiegrimison6705]

Michael Templeton, spot on. And so many videos are ruined by loud intrusive music, I'd prefer there not be music now.

[@howbethdoesit5695]

I agree, just tell us how to do it. I dont need to hear a guitar, I need to know how not to make it look like crap...lol

[@BoldNotionQuilting]

@@howbethdoesit5695 lol! I love this

I love this tutorial! No one else explains it as good! Thank you!

[@teresacraig3166]

Michael hit the nail on the head! this was the best video ever on feathers, no yaky yak just good instructions. I learned plenty. Continue your videos please, thank you very much.

[@BoldNotionQuilting]

Glad it was helpful! lol

[@Goldilocks57]

Thank you this really helped me improve my feathers a lot! The registration lines are genius.

[@BoldNotionQuilting]

Thank you!

[@selwynknap6121]

The line in the curve is a game changer for bump back feathers!!! Thank you!

[@BoldNotionQuilting]

yay!

[@marionbartley214]

Absolutely beautiful stitching, I am nowhere near this talent. But I can very much enjoy the beauty of this tutorial. Thank you so much Great job. ❤️

[@BoldNotionQuilting]

Thank you!

[@dianeturner7090]

OMG I have been watching tons of videos on feathers and couldn't get them. Watched your methods and they click. Thank you so much for all the pointers and instructions.

Great tutorial. Really appreciate using the contrasting thread to make this visually useful.

[@ТатьянаВерещагина-м9ф]

Разные способы стёжки перьев просто восхитительны! Спасибо за МК!!!

[@jlemmer5654]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I have been trying to get feathers made and incorporate them into my long arm quilting but have never been able to wrap my brain around the consistent flow of each component; I have played a lot with the "C" pattern creating flames, ghosts, swirls, etc. and now your directions and visual input has added a whole new level of confidence for me to attempt these; you are concise, professional, don't add distracting background noise or visual gestures of "look at me", and that makes this video that much more enjoyable to use and re-use as a guide - I stumbled onto this video by accident and am glad I made the trip! THANK YOU!

[@BoldNotionQuilting]

Oh yay! I am so glad to hear it! We also have a ton of classes on boldnotionquilting.com if you want more to learn!

[@melissacrockett8436]

Love the tip on putting lines at the appex and respecting that line! Can't wait to try it out😀

[@BoldNotionQuilting]

It helps so much

[@georgiamccroy6527]

Your method for doing feathers in deep curves is life-changing!!!! Okay. A little dramatic. I have been trying to find a consistent method for doing this for ages though and your demonstration brought me immediate success. I have a special quilt that I've been waiting to complete until I could master this particular feather technique. Guess what I'm working on next? Thank you Lauren!

[@BoldNotionQuilting]

Thank you for trying it! I'm so glad it helped!

[@irmabigler3516]

Awesome. I've never had some of these broken down into sections and how you fill them in. Thx. I'm sure I'm not explaining exactly what I mean but it's all good right.

[@BoldNotionQuilting]

All good!

[@chrisjones3753]

I surprised myself a couple of days ago when I finally quilted some feathers. I think they look better than the ones I’ve been doodling for the past two years. Doodling works.
