To punch holes in a feather quill for sewing we've always used a hot
needle. It burns its way through the quill and there is no danger of
splitting the quill. You don't need fancy equipment. Just lay the
needle across the burner of your stove. Heat it until its hot, then
use a pair of pliers (preferably needle nosed) to pick it up and
press it through the quill. Return it to the burner to heat again.
It takes a little time, but helps to stitch your feathers just were
you want them.
