I did two sets of feathers. One on my DSM and one on Long Arm. I'm fairly comfortable doing feathers on my DSM but have only been at the long arm for a couple of months now. I choose a new pattern that I had not sewn on either machine. Used the same fabric and the same thread. When I do feathers, I mark the spine and add a few registration marks that show the general shape of the feathers, very easy marking. What do you think, can you tell which was done on the DSM and which was done on the long arm?
Stop by
SewCalGal and see how others are doing with the feathers. And if you have seen it already,
Diane Gaudynski has a great tutorial up. I have both of her books and use them on a regular basis.

Oh, you make me want to hide mine. Just beautiful and so jealous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Feathers! Both methods. But, which method did you like using? That is my question for you. I prefer long arm quilting myself. When I go back to sitting at the machine to do anything but cross hatching, I struggle to make the quilt move smoothly. ---sort of like patting your head, rubbing your tummy feeling. Gone are the days I sit at the machine quilting unless I can it better there.
ReplyDeleteYour feathers are so well balanced and full - beautiful job! And, no, I couldn't tell which one was done on the DSM. Both are great.

Wow are these beautiful! I can't tell which is which! Do you mark anything? I hope you will share this at my linky party tomorrow too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job Sue! Seriously can't tell which is which. I'm just learning how to longarm so hopefully I'll be making gorgeous feathers likes these on it someday soon :*)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I need to practice making more feathered plumes. You have it down pat!
ReplyDeleteYou are a pro! And I can't tell the difference. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThese are both glorious!
