Thank you to everyone for making it happen.

It is my hope that all of you are enjoying your new machine quilting feathering technique. The photos of your creativity have been amazing and many of them are posted on the Hooked On Feathers gallery page. For those of you who would like to share your originality and imagination at work, please send pictures with your name and state of residence to sally@sallyterry.com and I will post them in the gallery.

If you are wondering about the Hooked On Feathers technique, it is a non-marking, non-backtracking machine quilted feather for traditional sewing machine to longarm, that actually turns corners easier free-motion than marked. Now HOF has become the most popular way to machine quilt feathers, because it requires stitching only one shape, the hook, which is so, so easy to master. Newby's love it and many have told me they are not even going to learn the traditional and heirloom feather because their Hooked On Feathers look so good. Plus they are a joy to stitch.

The feed back from my machine quilting classes is that beginners love the machine quilting technique and can start right out with feathers rather than waiting months to develop the cell memory. What could be better when we expect so much of ourselves in the beginning anyway.

So Let The Feathering Begin!!!
