![]() Amy's Top Tips for Quilting with Rulers on a Sewin.Got quilting friends that would like this? Feel free to share, pin, etc. Let me know in the comments if you've tried it or want to try it. I hope this video helps those who have been wondering about this template. ![]() This is definitely a shape that those using low shank machines need to get in the 3mm thickness. I don't have this template listed in my shop, though I do have maybe 2 of them in the 4.5mm thickness that I can sell as a custom order if somebody wants these and can order more. ( In case it sounds odd that I put this little disclaimer above, I did get exactly the type of comment I was warning against, but they left it on a previous post.) (To put it bluntly.don't come into "my house" to bash my efforts in order to promote your own classes, products, or those of someone else even if you're a very happy e your own platform, blog, site.) I think there are some 'marketing' factors playing into some of those comments.to put it kindly without mentioning details. The Janome foot works just fine with these templates. I used the Janome foot with this template and based on some comments I've gotten recently on a few of my videos, some may give me flak for this. I do like the Feather Wreath template I sell from TopAnchor as it makes a perfectly spaced and shaped round feather wreath and has an anchoring system that I prefer over that of similar rotating templates from the maker of this feather template, but it's only suitable for high shank machines and long arms of all types. ![]() As I stated in the video, if I couldn't make feathers free hand, I might love it. I think I'm on the fence about this template. The second line down is 1/4’’ away from that and helps when quilting on the edge of your quilt. Counting down, the first line from the top shows you where the seam line or the top of the preceding row of clamshells should be. I used a curved spine and that made it much more difficult to place the template and make the plumes meet the spine in an elegant way. Make good use of the lines on your quilting rulers. Using a straight spine can make it much easier to place the template evenly. A single size can be manipulated to create some variation in the size and shape. Having multiple sizes could help give the needed range of sizes and shapes needed for quilting feathers with templates, though spendy. I only have one size of feather template though Westalee makes them in at least 4 sizes.
