Will be trying this as I have feathers I make fly fishing lures. Now that I'm into hats what a great idea.

Use baby bottle sterilising fluid... Less corrosive on the feather

[@SHMillinery]

thank you for your suggestion

Hello, please i have a natural peacock feathers but i don't know how to treat or disinfect them.

[@SHMillinery]

You can disinfect with any household disinfection or hand sanitiser or a few drops of tea tree oil in water. Then I freeze them for a week to kill any possible bugs

[@ufuomaakpore6718]

@@SHMillinery Thank you .

[@mariescott9071]

Do the feathers have to be bought from suppliers, or can you use any feathers you may find in your garden or in the countryside? Great video by the way.

[@SHMillinery]

You can use found feathers. I recommend putting in a bag in the freezer for a week to kill any mites. I also then wash them in disinfectant. :)

Hi, loved the video....what sort of glue would you use to make a small feather corsage please? Thanks Jane.

[@SHMillinery]

I like to use Fabri -Tac :)

[@janebarker5808]

@@SHMillinery wow thank you so much for quick reply.....will look that up. I wished I was 50 years younger as I think I now know I want to be when I grow up......a milliner!!!! My mum would have loved that as she was always dabbling making her own hats (Queen Mother Style) Ha Ha! Thanks again.

[@SHMillinery]

@@janebarker5808 That's the nice thing about millinery, you can do it at any age, I didn't start professionally till my 40s and now I am mid 60s!

[@mmerxss]

I would like to know how to curl a spin, could you please advise😘thanks

[@SHMillinery]

I use a steam iron for flat curls, I hope this helps

[@mmaditshabamlandeni3861]

So, can we use a glass cutter to cut feathers? It looks like a glass cutter

[@SHMillinery]

No to a glass cutter! I use a fabric rotary cutter or scissors

[@bettychambers3668]

I like ur pc. but, ur hands don't stay in frame during all of the demo.

[@SHMillinery]

yes, this was one of my early videos, I have learnt a lot since then! Hopefully you will find my other videos better. My intention is to redo many of the early ones. I really appreciate your comments
