As to how to attach? In horizontal tiers from the bottom to the top.
Stitch the shafts down to your fabric with a strong thread (carpet
thread or artificial sinew) using a glover's needle that you can punch
through the shaft.
You can also use a hot needle and it pierces the shaft like butter.
Hold the needle (regular sewing needle, just one you won't use in fabric
ever again) in pliers or better yet in hemostats, hold the tip of the
needle in a candle flame (the needle shaft will lose it's nice silver
color), while still very hot pierce the shaft of the feather. I tried it
at a feather workshop at Balticon. Very neat and doesn't split the shaft.
