When you strum with the quill using a whipping motion, are you continually strumming both in and out?  I find that the quill catches when I try to strum out...? Help!

Hi Kendra, Did you cut the strumming end of the feather on an angle?  Does it matter? 

Yes, I did cut it on a little bit of an angle, but I don’t think it matters. After seeing Bobby Ratliff’s video, it makes sense to me to round the end gently with sandpaper like he did.
