I am tying a Silver Invicta Spider pattern (2 turns blue jay and 2 turns partridge for the collar).
Does anyone have a good method of tying in blue jay as a collar without the bulk of the centre stem.
I am stripping one side before I tie it in and this reduces the bulk slighly but as the feathers I am using have broken tips I am tying in further down the feather than I would like to.
Any Suggestions please ?
