This is what I consider to be a
Beginner Level Feather
Beginner Level Feather
Cat's Claw Feather
There is no back tracking when stitching.
I photographed the feather
as I drew it out...
You may use this as a tutorial if you like:
1.....Chalk out the Stem Line on Fabric
2....Stitch out a curl on the bottom right
DO NOT lift your pen off the paper,
keep the pen in the center of the curl.
3....Trace back over the center of the curl,
and add an echo around the curl to reach
the spine line.
This is the Cat's Claw shape
4....begin your first plume
5.....finish your first plume
DO NOT take your pen off the paper
6.....echo back around the plume
to create the cat's claw shape
7.....You have completed your first
plume with a cat's claw
8.....Stitch out your next plume
9....Add the Cat's Claw
I think you are getting into the routine...
10...continue adding plumes and cat's claw
11.....the right side of the feather is done
DO NOT take your pen off the paper!
12...Travel stitch back down the spine line
13...Start another curl on the left side
14...continue to add plumes
and cat's claws up the left side
