Hello all!
I bought a lot of Macaw feathers to make a flat fan, for my jingle, and I have ran into a issue. I need the feathers straighter than they are to make a flat fan. I was told to steam them or place them close to a hot lamp. Ok problem being... I steamed a IMMITATION eagle feather for practice and the feather 1st got really wet, then I got it exactley how I wanted it, placed it to dry, under heavy books, and a few days later, when it was dry, I took it out and it went right back to it's original shape. I then resteamed it, and , well let's put it this way, it was for toooooo long.LOL!
Any help is appreciated, I do not want to mess up these macaw feathers.
