If new to this stitch, a solid color may be easier to work with than a variegated color.
Try not to twist the yarn when pulling up loops on the feather stitch.
Keep the feather stitch even across the row by giving extra slack when working in the row below.
Skill Level
This is rated as an intermediate skill level. It can be a little awkward to get your tension even at first. Do not twist your yarn when making the feather stitches and pulling up the long stitches from the row below.
