Sunnybrook1 Question - I've strung together one wing with ribbon, using the method suggested. Looks and feels awesome! But I do find that the feathers, primarily (pun intended) the first 4-5 big primaries, quickly shift out of place on the ribbon. Not sure if this is because the ribbon I got is too slick, or what... But I really want to preserve the proper spacing. So I am thinking of sewing the ribbon in place on each of the feathers. It looks like this isn't something you found you had to do, so I guess I am asking if I might have goofed on the wrapping, or if my ribbon is maybe more slick than what you were using, or generally if it would be a bad thing if I secured the ribbon in a more permanent fashion...?
