Im not sure I agree with palmering schlappen. the stuff usually has a thick quill and is very webby. The web isnt as much of an issue as the thickness of the quill, its sometimes hard to get the things to wrap around the diameter of the hook shank. Soaking them in water will usually soften them up a bit. For the fluffy look you could also consider palmering some marabou. Tie it in from the tip and wrap to the butt. You can always add another feather if you come up short. Just my opinion
