Your enjoyment is infectious Marion, and you’re a natural teacher. The most important thing for me is to find what engrosses you and not to worry about what others think. You have got me completely hooked on slow stitching and embroidery after probably 40 years of not doing any (I’m 70!). You have no idea how much pleasure and relaxation it’s brought into my life. Thank you ❤

I totally agree with what you said, that you can do what makes you happy in sewing/stiching, and that there should not be a hierarchy. I have a new found joy in the more “loose” techniques in sewing, compared to the embroidery (mainly cross stich) I did years ago - and that makes me so, so happy. I really don’t care if other people think it is strange or not worth doing. I couldn’t care less, and maybe it is my age, that makes me think that now. I can do what I like, and I really enjoy trying put new techniques new approaches to needle, thread and fabrics🌻🌷🌺🫶🏻🥰

There will always be people who only know one way of working on projects and that is okay for them but there is not just one way of using thread and needle. New skills happen because people try different ideas. You have a real following now and I so enjoy your videos each time you post one. Thank you =-).

As I was told at my first day at art college, about 50 years ago, ‘take a line for a walk’, the start of an artistic creation.Taking your thread for walk, just wandering, some want to go somewhere specific on their walk, others like to just explore, but as you say you should just enjoy the freedom to ‘ walk’. That’s the way to really sew and get ‘fitter’ with stitching🙂

@AngelaColeman-b6iКүн бұрын
Hello Marion. Firstly can I say that I rather dislike people who think they have the right to denigrate stitch work that doesn’t “fit” with what they see as being acceptable. The joy of needlework is that it can be used to enhance a lowly dish cloth right up to “royal paraphernalia” and everything in between. It doesn’t matter what type of stitching you want to do. If it gives you joy or fulfils a practical need, then it is more than acceptable. I love watching how you develop each piece and are so versatile in how you approach each element of it, which always results in something that is lovely. So, please, keep doing what you do! Have a great week.

Do you think you will ever use up all that tangle of threads Marion? I’d love a mending video. Darning wool fabrics and invisible mending of holes and tears would be very useful. These slow stitching panels are very like mood boards and memory boards. They are very abstract but quite fascinating. They are totally different from traditional embroidery. Not as organised, more spur of the moment, go as you please sewing. Very tactile and innovative. I’m with you on this one Marion. It doesn’t matter what you create, as long as you enjoy doing it.

Hi Marion. What you said here, at the start of the video, makes me want to react too. When I was at school embroidery was not really interesting. But after highschool (about 1975) I went to education to become a teacher in fiber arts. What was taught there was much more free-form and artistic. Some of the teachers were professional artists who made works of art using textiles (applique, free weaving, macramé, etc.). I think the only difference with 'slowstitching' was that it was about the end result. Because I never became a professional artist, nor a teacher, designing and making something with yarns/fibers/fabrics for me became something I did with pleasure, to enjoy myself in my spare time. And imo that's exactly what slowstitching is about. So I can call myself a slowstitcher ... 🙂
