Feathering is where the blocks wear unevenly, as they always do on front tyres. The front outside edge of a block will always wear more than the back inside edge. Easiest way to spot it is to ride along, stand up and lean forward looking down at the rolling profile of your tyre. You will see a distinct "step" in the tread.
