It seems like that anon used that word wrong. Feathering usually means in art to make something fuzzy/blurry. I think that anon meant tapering. BTW you can do that, the reason teachers tell you not to do so is because it's like mowing a lawn with a pair of scissors. Some artists find the technique therapeutic or are perfectionists others learned this way and built of the cognitive stamina to actually make great art like that. That technique is not for the easily distracted person who would like to make art in an speedy, efficient manner and the downsides is that you can easily lose the scope of the entire drawing doing that unless you're vigilant.
