I am not surprised you are near 10,000 subscribers Marion. I don’t think you realise how, not only what you do but who you are is appreciated so much by your followers. I love how this weeks stitching turned out. I love the idea of the bubbles escaping their confines! Thank you💕

Marion, I can't tell you how many videos I've watched trying to learn how to make French Knots and the frustration, but you explained it so well I can do them now! I'm so pleased. Thank you. Pam from Ontario, Canada

I am in the US and have recently discovered you. What a delight it is to watch, listen and learn from you! You are very good at what you do and I absolutely love listening to your voice! Thank you for your many talents with all of us!

[@marionsworld24]

Well I'm happy you found me Rhonda 💐 Thank you so much for watching...☺️

[@annelefevre9457]

You seem like a delightful person. Thank YOU for all you do for us! I’ve only known your channel for two days, and am enjoying watching them. You are a cute little English lady. Quite different from American ladies , but I like that. Most American ladies can’t start a project w/ out going to the craft:fabric store and spending 20.00-30.00 dollars w/ out buying new supplies. But your ideas are using what you have! Not quite the same. Saves you money enough money so you can get your pretty finger nails polished and shined up. So pretty!

[@marionsworld24]

Oh I definitely am enjoying my nail polish. After years and years of working outside and having broken nails that never looked clean I have at last discovered the loveliness of nail polish 😅 The first time I had them painted it took me ten minutes to work up the courage to go inside to ask about having them done 😊

[@jenniferdodds3980]

Marons world is a haven of sense and peacefullness on this oft times crazy planet, I love spending time with you Marion and eagerly look forward to our time together. When you started this current project I fished out my Mary Thomas's book of 'Dictionary of Embroidery Stitches' orginally published in 1934 but my copy is a 1965 impression. Stated in the preface 'Stitches are the "scales and excercises" of embroidery and a good working knowledge of these is the first essentail foundation of the art'. How lucky we were to have family members, and schoolteachers, to guide us in the art of sewing and knitting. Christmas 1956 I was given a knitting dolly - for French knitting, which got me started. Always a big thank you for your friendship, Jenny

[@marionsworld24]

I used to have a knitting dolly too... I can't remember what we did with all the lengths of cord we made though🤔

[@mswetra2610]

Oh Marion I can't thank you enough for the french knot. I have made french knots hit or miss for years never really understanding why i had to do them over. 😅 i said it before and i will say it again, you are a great teacher. 🍎 The fact that you are a lefty is a special bonus for me. I am really enjoying this series.

[@brendabessell1327]

Dear sweet Marion: Your spirit is so kind and sweet. It comes through the light in your eyes as you are teaching. It is no wonder you have such a following. I just love everything about you. I have chose your stitch along as my stitch project for the year. Thank you so much for the encouragement, teaching and beautiful product!. I love the rectangles couched never thought to use fabric. Your french knots really are perfect. It's a lovely piece. 🥰

Very nice tutorial, dear Marion! You are a very kind spirit and I love how you really use everything up to the last bit.👍🏻 I do that, too. I also appreciate very much that you chose to leave the commercials out and it is so much more enjoyable to watch! Thank you for doing that! ❤Jutta from USA♥️🙋‍♀️

[@marionsworld24]

Well I'm pleased you appreciate it, however I've just had to start having a couple now. I need to earn more to pay the bills and I don't have another job. I've tried to keep them off the channel until I just can't go on not making something from it. I hope you understand..💐

[@juttaoden6196]

​@@marionsworld24Of course I understand. You need to do what pays the bills. ❤🙋‍♀️💐♥️

[@jenniecohee7797]

I so thank you, you make it easy for us to learn. I chose to not learn as a child although watching my mom and grandma was very crafty and always wanting us to know how to do such things I was a tomboy and now in my late fifties wanting to learn and wishing I had them here to teach me. So I am thankful I found you. Thanks again

[@AlisonGreenValleyCrone]

Love the way that you let the fabrics lead the way…to such beautiful pieces

[@lindak7499]

I can see why your channel has grown so fast. I believe it is because you are very artistic and show us how to produce beautiful items with a variety of techniques. It is the variety that holds our interest. It is also a great learning experience. Thank you - nice video

[@lespagne49]

I'm a beginner and this is just amazing information. The demonstration are fabulous. What a beautiful personality Marion has. A blessing in my life 😂

[@courageousspirit3586]

Another joyous time spent learning and refreshing ideas on how to utilize the couching and the french knot. Sometimes going back to the basics helps to pin point a weak habit of not holding down the threads right and then ending up with inconsistent knots. This really helped me. Thank you so much!

[@marionsworld24]

I'm so glad you're finding it helpful. Sometimes we think a bit of basic stitching might be boring as we get more experienced. But there's a lot to gain from reconnecting with the rhythm of needle and thread 🧵🪡

[@ildikofarfix5554]

I'm delighted to have finally found someone who calls a spade a spade & doesn't make me watch animals. Thanks for everything & keep up the good work! 😄

Animals?🤔

Yes, mainly proud members of the cat family but no shortage of canines either... 😁 Wish you all the best. 🙂@@marionsworld24

What sort of knitting do you enjoy doing Paulette?

[@paulettehartge409]

​@marionsworld24 I love anything with cables. Now I'm knitting mostly scarves and shawls, but I'm also planning a sweater or vest. I want to try colorwork. I saw your video where you showed your knitting... wonderful!

[@alisonsanderson1770]

I feel very blessed to be able to watch your videos and learn. When l was at school, many moons ago, our domestic science teacher didn't know what to do with me because l was left handed so she used to let me use the old treadle sewing machine. Only with paper though!! Or a hand cranked Jones sewing machine! That was whilst she was teaching the other girls how to sew. But now l've found you l feel like l can have another stab at embroidery! You are a wonderful "resource " Marion. I thank you for everything you share and show us. I was born in Cheshire but now live in Nova Scotia. Canada. You should look at an American lady called Arriane Zurcher. I hope l've spelled her name correctly. She's left handed too. Thanks once again. And you deserve all the likes and subscribers and accolades!!

Hi, Marion! I’ve been lagging behind, though I try to watch every video. I’ve been watching another stitchery channel where I learned the drizzle stitch. It’s exciting to learn all the time. I’m like a baleen whale sifting information through my brain’s teeth. I’m not eating krill, I’m consuming pretty pictures and ideas. If anyone’s going to get my simile, it’s you. You’ve really risen meteorically here. I read a bunch of comments on this video, and they feel as I do. You seem to have a pied piper effect. We’re ALL happy to follow you. Happy! 💜💜💜

@@marionsworld24 Oh, a baleen whale strains krill into its mouth thru soft teeth. It doesn’t have to chase its food or chew it up. I feel like I do that with information and lovely images. I find stuff everywhere and it nourishes me. I feel very blessed, very lucky. You are the same. No morsel is too small to be digested. I wish my memory was as sharp as it once was. Your knowledge astounds me. Beauty and cleverness amaze me. It’s all respite from Trumpism. Bah!
