Description

From the book: ""Feathering" is the working of decreases so that they fall opposite to the slant of the stitches and thus become more prominent, giving a rough texture to the fabric. The classic Feather Pattern produces a scalloped edge, because the decreases fall directly over one another. The Expanded Feather Pattern is modified with decreases traveling toward the center; this takes up the slack of the fabric and produces a straight edge."
