[@virginiasantillan2267]

Nice Work!’

[@wilmaheger7276]

Just working on the second leaf. I'm wondering what is the best cord to use? Like to try a bigger plant hanger.

[@angelabartlett1584]

What brush are you using please, love the feather

[@darlenenelson215]

I want to thank you for the free templates. I look forward to making them.

[@khatijakamal3744]

Around how many short pieces did it take for 2nd one?

[@janetgriffiths1534]

Love these so much ,thank you !

[@emjay1981]

thank you for this awesome tutorial! Do you have any tutorials or advice on how to take the leaf attached to the wooden ring and then attach it to a rod? If I were to make a few of those and turn it into a wall hanging. Thank you!

[@aishwaryarajasekaran7752]

Which comb to use to get like this ?

[@DorotaMarszalek-n4s]

What kind of yarn are you using?

[@ninagreene8512]

You say that you used 3 - 44in long cords for the middle ? I’m looking at my cord it seems so long compared to your on the video am I reading your measure to wrong ? Sorry I’m so new at this I don’t like making mistakes . Thank you so much for your time your video & understanding a newbie 🙏.

[@MarchingNorth]

That’s correct for the third feather, all the double half hitch knots use up quite a bit of cord. Good luck!

[@banjokeeler3281]

Hi. Can you use yarn instead of cord? Thanks!

[@cherylfrostdanielson5553]

Can yarn be used if so what brand is the best? 👌

[@bibianesproule5876]

Thank you for the great tutorial! I'm in Canada can you give me an idea where to buy the cord you're using, I'm not near any Michael's or craftstore!

[@MarchingNorth]

You’re very welcome!! 😊 I got mine from Ganxxet which is in the US, but another place I like to order from is Unfettered Co and she’s based in Canada. I hope that helps!

[@bibianesproule5876]

@@MarchingNorth great thanks, what type of cord would this be you're using?

[@bibianesproule5876]

Does it matter what ply?

[@sandyrivera1827]

Hi I just found your channel I love your work! New subscriber here and I just ordered a few templates, can you tell me how to locate the free templates you mentioned on this video?

[@jeanleigh5425]

I am a beginner , I wish you were step by step all the way through at normal speed. Love the design.

[@Rachel-my5wt]

Can you please let me know what mm the cord you are using please? As I am a beginner, thanks 😊

[@MarchingNorth]

It’s 4mm single strand cotton- the supply list is down in the description 😊

[@janebellmyer5238]

Could this work to make a Christmas tree instead of a feather?

[@MarchingNorth]

I think it could! You would definitely want to add felt to the back to help it keep its shape I would think, but that’s a great idea!

[@dorotanogala6580]

How Thick should be the rope?3 mm? 5 mm?

[@emilybeckham8345]

I tried starch like you recommended but everything started curling up and I'm not able to brush out is that normal?

[@susanomspacker2533]

Link for stiffening spray please

[@XmendingfallsX]

I’m very new to Macrame. I have some crochet skills so I figured this couldn’t be too hard. I wanted to do the last one, and it started off great. But the directions were changed when making the half knots and I could keep up. I rewinded it over and over and over again but she kept switching the direction she made the tie, sometimes forwards and sometimes backwards and I tried my best to notice but it was too fast. So I had to just discard it and do something else.

[@robynmcgowan]

How do I attach a feather with a ring at the top, to a wood dowel?

[@susanomspacker2533]

How can I get some templates?

[@AvaniJatin1221]

Please tell me cord length

[@MysticalRaven3]

I must be using the wrong kind of cord, i CANNOT get this to look right. I've had to take it out multiple times, even after watching it in .25 speed...😭😭

[@amylaforest-thomas6417]

Me too😂

[@Pixie_trixie]

For me, the cords that were 3m or less didn't turn out right. I tried doubling it together and it's better. But 4m cord looked better forsure. I'd say use 4 or higher.

[@daniellesagar7233]

Hey, you would want to make sure it is twisted cotton not braided. Braided tends to curl on itself.

[@desireeledda727]

I have to stop and rewind a million times 😅and it still doesn’t look right! I guess it takes lots of practice

[@jennifernelson8920]

THe one on the right, that looks like an eagle feather

[@susanpaquette488]

Very clear instructions, perfect, but the music is super distracting.

[@susanpaquette488]

Not sure why the videos ever need music, i too, find it annoying and distracting. Silence is way better with verbal instruction or written along side the video. My opinion of course, take is a you will. Many thanks for the video though!

[@DebbieSilke]

Love your work. Can I subscribe

[@MarchingNorth]

Please do! 😊

[@xuguo2010]

wow nice 😑

[@hollyshirley1508]

Diamond

[@junaidqadir7607]

Hey , I'm the first..😉

[@annemcfarlane9068]

I cannot get the last one. Very hard to follow😢

[@melvachica6156]

Medidas de las tiras

[@gorettigonsalves8549]

The third pattern has confused me. It looks very pretty

[@charlottejane1183]

You can't get the template unless you sign up to your site! That's fair enough but you could say that in description so people don't have to wade through loads of advertising to discover this. I like your video but I don't like signing up to sites or groups.

[@xomaddiemay]

On the last feather, the way you hold the strings and tie the knots makes this confusing and much harder to follow than it should be…. when tying the knots, you should show how the cords weave instead of holding your hands how your muscle memory tells you to.

[@micaelaluana9834]

Ficou ruim para visualizar o passo a passo, podia ter feito com uma linha colorida

[@susanpaquette488]

All good until the music started.

[@adzsna7]

Ez elég csúnya...
