Getting Ready
Set up your practice board.
Insert a coupler base in your Featherweight bag and lock leaf tip 67 onto it with your coupler ring.
Fill your bag half full with thin consistency Buttercream Icing for
practice.
Tip: 67
Icing: thin consistency
Positions:
- Bag: 45° angle 6:00
- Tip: lightly touch surface wide opening parallel to surface
Sequence:
1. Squeeze hard, lift to build base.
2. Relax pressure, draw to point.
3. Stop, lift away.
Basic Leaf
Hold the bag at a 45° angle to the surface 6:00. Leaf tip 67 should
touch the surface, and its wide opening should lie parallel to the surface.
Squeeze hard to build up base, and at the same time, lift the tip slightly.
Now relax, pressure as you pull tip toward you, drawing the leaf to a point.
Stop squeezing the bag and draw it away.
Ruffle Leaf
To make your leaf ruffled, start as you would for the basic leaf, building
up your base. Then move your bag in and out in a series of quick motions
to produce the ruffled effect. Complete your leaf as before.
Stand-up Leaf
Return to your starting position with tip held a little more upright
than 45° angle and build up your leaf base. But then pull the tip up
and away from the surface as you relax pressure. Finally, stop squeezing,
and lift tip away.
