[@juliac7010]

Helen , you give the best explanations of all the tips and techniques , Thank you

[@palmasmyth6605]

I get bored doing the same feather in my borders, so I usually changed after every 3 or 4. Looks better than the same all around. Love your variations

[@mylosanders705]

Really great demo and big BIG help Thanks Helen

[@henryjames6634]

Fantastic work! Very impressed.

[@bobbieparsons1917]

Thank you Helen. Great tutorial

[@angelagillard3508]

Never seen this concert before. It’s wonderful, thanks Helen

[@shirleyhagan9002]

Excellent! Thank-you

[@little1942]

Brilliant idea putting the angled marks to help direct the stitching. I’ve been trying for a few years to draw feathers, but always ended up looking like that first feather you did. I think this may help a lot! Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@sandiestrickland8596]

This is brilliant. You offer some really helpful tips that I have never seen offered before. I love the variations you work towards. Helps keep from making the process too repetative.

[@phyllischaluisant4902]

This was absolutely wonderful. I've tried practicing on paper and fabric, just have to keep doing it. I appreciate this lots!!!!

[@annettemc4]

You mentioned painting your fabric. What kind of paints and fabric do you use? You have given me hope in my free motion efforts. Thank you so much!

[@bernicecloete4245]

Thanks!! I love the way you teach!

[@cherylmay8491]

Thank you for your tips. Love the variety of shapes. Time to practice!

[@peggyharris7849]

Brilliant

[@tatyanadali2989]

Thank you for lessons! I love your koala on back wall! Is it quilt or painting?

[@GewoonelsJustels]

How cool! What is that pencil you are using?

[@esperansaloughran693]

Super Great little tutorial! I will try it soon.

[@janiceprice7403]

Wonderful explanation and love the variety.

[@emmari0601]

Wow.... You are SUCH an inspiration! :D

[@jeanneculver3078]

I love your videos! I can't wait to try feathers now! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I notice that you don't use quilting gloves to help you move the fabric. Is there something on the plate of your machine to help the fabric glide?

[@marygonzalez8902]

Helen, all I can say is, your AWESOME!

[@janetpayne7738]

Thank you so much, a most useful tutorial which I can’t wait to practice.

[@janelatham1376]

Amazing! How are you quilting while using both hands holding material?

[@MsChris23456]

Practice Practice and mark.

[@jkudzillia8349]

Love Helen’s idea of boundaries to show me where to go and where to stop. Never thought of that.

[@MsChris23456]

Love it!

[@lesleynitschke6879]

OH I love that re the shower screen, I doodle all the time on the screen, flowers and all sorts of things, must practise my paisleys now :D

[@sarahleigh1502]

Great tutorial.....But....Where did you find that pencil marker that peels back with the thread? I heard you say you can iron it off. Please reply.

[@sabineneuberger5845]

Hello and thank you for this tutorial - it seems so easy and I will certainly try to get better with feathers your way! I also love the koala quilt on the wall behind you! Is there a pattern for it? Looking forward to your next video, lots of greetings from Germany 👋😘

[@Joey-lp7rn]

[@villafriesen7334]

Really great demo! Still hoping I will get good at this. Cheers, I’m from W.A. 😊🥰😍❤️😘

Спасибо.❤

[@kathyf3656]

Two questions. ------One: You move your hands and your pedal speed very fast. Should a beginner try to go that fast at first, or is that just because you have so much experience? When I try it fast, my stitches come out all different lengths. -------Two: I wondered if there is another way to practice off the sewing machine. You and other instructors talk about drawing on paper to build muscle memory, but since you control the "pen" (the needle) on paper, but when sewing you are controlling the "paper," (the fabric), the actions are totally opposite. To practice with pen and paper to be of any help, you would have to have someone hold a pen like a needle, in mid-air, while you moved the paper around underneath it. Is there any other way to practice that is more like actual free-motion sewing?

[@pjinlaca5489]

Does this machine have a stitch regulator?

[@martikovach8153]

There is one available, but I do not think she is using it.
