I have tried turkey work in the past. I was working from instructions in a book and I just could not understand how to do it. Your tutorial makes it all clear! Thank you, Marion, once again!

I have seen this stitch but have never tried it but now with your tutorial I’ll have to give it a try. Thank you Marion!

[@joykeating7342]

Thank you for your tutorial....such a fascinating stitch❤

[@anndevault6010]

Thank you for teaching the turkey work stitch. I never really understood how to do this when I tried it years ago.

[@traceybeale1761]

Thanks Marion for another excellent video I’m going to give this a try😊

[@paulineharrisonevans48]

That is a lovely little tutorial. Thank you, Marion, I shall look forward to using it in my stitching projects.

[@blissfulacresoffgridhomest2098]

THANKS! This video will be so much easier to find to refresh my memory! 😆 Awesome! ❤ 😊

[@viviancothros5541]

Thnak you Marion! This is such a clear demonstration! ❤

[@LynnH-l9d]

Great tutorial Marion! Thank you 💕

[@carolreid9755]

Thank you Marion for this quick tutorial. I had an older needlework teacher at secondary school who had us hold the loop in a pencil to make the loops the same size. What a nightmare and total faff. Hand held hoop and 2 hands. You can imagine the mess we got into. Hoops clattering on desks and the teacher moaning at us about needlework being a quiet pastime that ladies indulged in. It was the early 70's , felt like 1870 .Thank goodness for a mum who stitched and with no rules.

[@marionsworld24]

Why did school sometimes suck the joy out of something so lovely? Thank goodness for enjoying however you do whatever interests you!👍

[@melaniehopkins7541]

Well done tutorial! Thank you Marion!

[@craftdipper]

Thank you so much for this extra tutorial on Turkey Work. It strikes me as a very fun stitch, especially to add to, say, an embroidered cushion cover, for added texture and "strokability". Or on a handbag! I must experiment with some different yarns. Thanks, Marion - you're so generous! ❤

[@lesahanners5057]

I shall have to try this on a sock monster and see how it goes. Such scope for the imagination. Yippy, I'm excited! Thanks for such a good tutorial, it's a marvel. ❤😊

[@maramakesjournals2319]

Yes, a very nice little video. I’d love more like this featuring a single stitch or technique. Thanks! 💜💜💜

[@marionsworld24]

I'm going to do a whole series of them....

Thank you Marion!! I was taught this stitch in college and lost the name of it for years. So glad to relearn it!!!

[@rachelmurguia9874]

Thank you. This was so interesting to learn. I can't wait to use it.

[@marionsworld24]

You can play around with how long or short you cut the threads. They can be long and shaggy or short and plush☺️

Wow, how interesting!!! Nice that you can secure the stitch like that, thanks for sharing. 🪡🧵🩵

[@handmadebyme4U]

Ty for sharing 😊

[@mareimontalvo2725]

I always enjoy doing Turkey work....or Ghiordes Knot as I learned it. It adds so much texture, and sometimes a bit of whimsy, to a stitched piece. Great instructions.

[@nicky9187]

Whimsy is such a wonderful word!

[@marionsworld24]

It's a good stitch for all sorts of things...

[@marionsworld24]

It definitely is!

[@ConnieShoemaker]

Lovely ❤️

[@lisazilaro6906]

Nice little video. Thanks 🪡🧵♥️

[@Grammysplace72]

For the first time ever, thanks to your beautiful teaching method, I am able to not only understand turkey work and do it without it looking like my turkey has been electrocuted 😂.

[@marionsworld24]

Oh my goodness! That's a laugh.... I'm glad you found the tutorial useful..

[@JoanneTorgersen]

Great tutorial! Thank you Marion. ❤❤❤

[@josiethornton7049]

Thank you very much. I was just looking at this stitch last night.

[@janbuckley1]

Thank you Marion, that’s really helpful 😊

[@nicky9187]

❤ ooo TY ! What a nice surprise to wake up to ! 👏👏👏 TY dear. I bought a couple of bags of incompleated projects from the local church shop last week... both had wool-ish thread. One much thicker. I presume one is crewel and one lot is tapestry but not sure. Shall have to show you and see what you think. Looking forward to using this stitch

[@nicky9187]

Would be a wonderful stitch for gnomes beards !

[@nicky9187]

I feel a touch of Christmas coming on ... 😂😂😂🥳

[@ohsheliashelia]

Thanks Marion! 😊✨⭐️

[@marjanwolfs6273]

I'am happy you made a (very) short video. As much as I love your video's, they are to long for me to watch. I know everybody loves your long videos, but I'am busy making so many things.Of course I see everything you make on Instagram, but it is not the same as watching video's. Hope you have a nice weekend with a little sunshine. Here we have rain...again.

[@marionsworld24]

I decided to do a whole series of them 🪡🧵☺️

[@marjanwolfs6273]

That is a great idea, Marion. There are a lot of people who don't know any embrodery stitches. This way they can make a sort of sampler, like girls did 100 years ago.

[@yaseminersoy5846]

👏💐👏😘

[@christykulwicki4323]

Good evening Marion, have you ever made a fabric house box? If you have can you tell if there is a video? I just did Turkey work on my bunnies tail. Turned out wonderful!

[@susanparker2055]

I was just thinking it would be perfect for a bunny's tail!

[@marionsworld24]

Not so far...however I've a house pin cushion box thing in my head waiting to come out!

[@christykulwicki4323]

@@marionsworld24 can’t wait! The one I saw the lid is hinged and you can put trinkets inside the house.

[@missbellarubens5255]

I use this stitch to make the head if a moth. There are so many ways to use it

[@marionsworld24]

Definitely!
