In this next shot, you kind of get a sense of what hyperquilting adds to the outermost featherettes.  This shot has some of them hyperquilted and some of them still “naked:”

    That’s right! Better mental health through free motion quilting! Kept me sane through some rough times a few years ago.

    Love the new design! I’m taking your Craftsy class right now and it is just superior! You are such a wonderful teacher!
