    Create an object with a feather filter applied to it. Create another object you want the gradient to be applied to (i.e circle). highlight both (feathered object on top) and go to the transparency pallette and play round with the 'make opacity mask' function.
    A better explanation of this process available on illustrator online. I find this allows you to get the shape and the amount of gradient on the edge exactly right. hope this helps.
