I was successful by sewing a stitch thru the hat, making a loop around the
quill, repeat, tie off.

Never tease a weasel!
This is very good advice.
For the weasel will not like it
And teasing isn't nice.

Subject: [h-cost] attaching feathers to a hat
Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2006 10:08:24 -0600
I'm curious, those of you who make or wear hats... how do you keep the
feathers on? I've got two purchased hats and it seems the feathers are
always sliding out of the hatband, especially when it's windy (which it is
constantly here in the midwest). The quill part seems to be so thick that
the pressure of the hatband itself isn't enough to hold it, moreso when
there's more than one.
Is it possible to use pins? I can't see pins going through the thickness of
these two hats, or the feathers (without splitting them). Safety pinning to
the band is just ugly.
