An Easy Start to the Journal with Running Stitch

[@sharonnewton7726]

I think the things you do are lovely, your interest in so many things makes me feel a lot better about myself. Listening & watching you is my favourite thing to do each day. Please dont stop Marion ❤

[@marionsworld24]

I'm so glad you're enjoying my channel Sharon. Thank you 😊💐

[@ragdollyally]

I cannot tell you how much I needed this video today. You should be able to be prescribed on the NHS to patients who are struggling with their mental health or chronic pain - both of which apply to me. You are like a therapist for me today and I just wanted to share how much this beautiful, self-forgiving, kind and caring, mindful and gentle video has done for me today. Your voice, your thoughts, you are a lovely lady and I DO stitch by hand but even if I didn’t I’d have loved this!! 😊

[@marionsworld24]

That's so kind of you to say Allie. Thank you so much for taking the time to message. I feel overwhelmed to hear how much you got from my little stitching video. Thank you again 💐🪡🧵☺️

[@ragdollyally]

@@marionsworld24 I’m glad you feel appreciated. I find you incredibly therapeutic to spend time ‘with’ even if it’s only over the ether. Your kawandi video inspired me so much I made a big one for my first attempt at ANY sort of quilt, and it’s wildly cheery colours, entirely thrifted fabrics and turned out cosy and warm! I made LOADS of ‘mistakes’ (inverted commas thanks to your guidance on how to see them as learning opportunities and turn them into something different) but with some subsequent inventive application of seam embroidery I’ve turned them into not mistakes, but joyous little things! I like when you say ‘serendipity’ - and every time I touch the embroidered seams where I previously had flappy edges (I didn’t work out till part way through what I was doing wrong!), I say ‘Well Marion would say “That’s a bonny seam” !! I’d love to send you some photos as you’d be proud to know that it stemmed entirely from your lovely kawandi video! My dogs migrate to it within minutes when I put it on the sofa! Haha!!

[@marionsworld24]

Allie this is a wonderful reply to receive! I can just imagine how lovely your embroidered seams are. That's just exactly the sort of thing I'd do too. You've turned the kawandi into your own lovely creation!🏆 Are you on Instagram? I joined not so long ago so that I could see other people's pictures.You could tag or message me and I could see what you've done ...

[@mavisdavisify]

Thank you, Marion. I am going to demo embroidery for a small class of beginning needlework students in November. They are in 8th grade. We only have 1 hour and I’ve been mulling over what/ how I should start. Your calm and stress free manner of presenting facets of straight stitch is exactly what I needed to make a decision how to get them started. I didn’t realize all the effects that can be had from one simple stitch. I think the kids will really enjoy being able to sew without lines to follow…they can choose their own steps so to speak.

[@pamelawilson1450]

You are such a wonderful teacher, so soothing and gentle. I'm just sitting mending and I feel that I'm not alone watching your video. Such a comfort. Thank you.

What a fabulous video! Thank you Marion, it’s always an absolute joy ☺️💕

[@charliebrown9188]

Hello Marion, this video (I had to search for it to comment again) was so inspiring to me that I decided to finish the crochet project I was working on to start stitching. Yesterday I had a failed attempt at stitching where I was trying to do something rather small - tiny - with patchwork which is what I'm trained in... Today I grabbed a piece of patterned fabric of random size and padded it with a used and washed piece of surface wipe backed with a same size piece of calico... I put a film on and started stitching... I couldn't put it down, I did what you suggested, I went with it and used the pattern to inspire me as to what to do with it. At first I was clumsy as I hadn't hand stitched in years. My hands hurt a bit, but I'm so chuffed with the result that the pain is well worth the result, the relaxed feeling I have as a result.... Amazing. This piece of stitched fabric is going into the travel journal that I'm planning to hold my sewing needles. So here is a thank you once again for being so inspiring.

[@marionsworld24]

I'm so glad you enjoyed taking your needle for a walk... Although it was a very simple start to the Stitch Journal... it's the possibilities it unleashes..💐🪡🧵 happy stitching 👍

[@denisepettit8534]

[@paulinegriffiths2999]

Oh Marion I'm rather behind with my stitch journal but I've found my fabric from curtains which I shall use double so will be starting tomorrow. U are a born teacher and I really did enjoy your explanation of the running stitch.thanks again take care Paulinex

[@maegpye]

I hate creases in thread wound around bobbins. But I just hold the thread a bit taut and breathe on it. The moisture from my breath usually releases the kink. I have also been known to just run it through my mouth but I suppose some folks might cringe at the thought or worry the saliva might not be archival! I joke that, if I ever go missing, there is plenty of DNA in my stitched pieces... between licking my finger to do a rolled knot, blood from my pricked fingers, and strands of hair that are always getting caught up in the sewing.

[@marionsworld24]

I agree with all of the above. I think if you're stitching small stitches then the creases aren't ever noticeable. They just melt in to the stitching. If I was doing long stitches for some reason then I'd take a decent length off the bobbin and steam it right before I stitched. :)

[@dianawilson9326]

Wonderful! Happy New Year!

I have joined a group online that is doing a weekly stitch challenge. The work I see is beautiful. I am not a total beginner but I have been away from hand embroidery for quite a while. You have explained how to make a stitch book so beautifully and simply. The encouragement you give is wonderful. Now I know I can do it. I am going to follow your site too so I can get the wonderful encouragement you give. Your gentle voice and advice is such an encouragement to me.

Welcome Dawn. I have a real North East England accent. Do you know... it was the one thing that worried me about starting my channel? I was so sure no one would like the way I spoke so I felt embarrassed to video myself. When I started to get comments such as yours I was amazed...

[@annelefevre9457]

The reason the threads are numbered, is for all the different shading colors on counted crossing projects. Threads are my fascinations. I love embroidery floss and also Pearl cotton. I know Europe has a lot of different brands of thread. I wish I had them all. But I mostly have DMC. I don’t live around a sewing shop….Joann’s and I don’t like that shop anymore.! I miss all the sewing shops we use to have in America. I enjoy your channel very much.

Thank you. I used to keep my thread in number order. But when I started doing my own designs it was less helpful to me. Since then it's colour for everything..

Lovely tutorial, very easy to understand and follow. As your channel grows, (and I’m delighted to see it is growing leaps and bounds) it will become impossible to reply to everyone.

I am slowing catching up on your videos. I had so much going on before the holidays. I love embroidery, but haven't done it in years so I am going to join in on the journal. I am going to make 5 inch square patches and then possibly incorporate them into a quilt when the year is finished. We shall see. I keep my thread in plastic clear top food containers. I have 7, one for a different color family, neutrals, and one variegated. This is such a wonderful idea and I am glad you thought of it. I will see how rusty my embroidery skills are.

[@heatherbasson9127]

Happy New Year Marion, Interesting project for us . Thank you. I am so glad to see your thread arrangement . I decided to to the same about a year ago, I never stitched needing the numbers I only needed the colours. !! I have also been stitching for a very long time, started when I was at my Grandmothers feet as she stitched wedding gowns at the singer sewing machine , which I have now all of 4 years old and I am now 74!!!. I have the full set of DMC colours and have added over the years too , It has been such a wonderful thing to open my thread box and see all the thread arranged in colour. I have done it with all my other threads as well and now have a container with all different types of thread in greens, one for blues , etc to choose from. What a schlep it always was to get each specific type of thread container down and search through it for a specific colour!! I have also always wrapped my threads on paper bobbins, and never had any problems. I make my own paper bobbins, Trace around the cardboard shape onto some card can use cereal boxes or other types of cardboard packaging and cut then out and use them. They have some lovely freebie ones on Pinterest with lovely pictures on them, Thank you for all the sharing , so kind of you, Happy stitching everyone looking forward to seeing everyones creations. Love Heather from Cape Town, South Africa.

[@marionsworld24]

Thanks for the lovely message Heather. You sound just like me. Starting to stitch at a very young age. My Mam used to sew clothes for people when we were little. We used to go to bed to the sound of the sewing machine going. My first remembrance of sewing is being taught to hem a handkerchief with tiny stitches. If Mam could see the stitches then they had to be done again! I'll have been about 5 or 6 I think. I suppose it could have put me off, but it didn't. I just loved making things for my dolls, and little presents for grandma etc.
