Week 3 of our Stitch-A-Long project is the Coral Stitch.
I love embroidery stitch books but they just don't show you the endless possibilities of the stitches! By varying a few things you can change the way it looks. Take some time to play with the stitch, I'm sure you will come up with many other ways it can be used. It's a fun, easy stitch to master and I created a Botanical using it. Get your notebook and jot down a few of your own ideas!
The How-To part ends and I invite you to hang with me and stitch away while listening to a few short stories as I chatter on about....
* My visit with Ida
* A show and share of a wool needle roll I want to make, maybe in a LIVE or on a Zoom
* Wool Dots I have been embroidering on (Sue Spargo)
* YT and their Algorithms
* My new Kofi and 2 private videos I put there
* I made a cloth book I am going to bury
* Strawberry Festival Brian and I are doing this weekend
Thanks for watching and Please Do Subscribe, Like and Share, it really does help! 💜
Just a reminder: Keep Moving, Just Play, No Rules and Find Something to be Grateful for today! oxox

[@JeriBellini]

LOLOL I KNOW what you mean, as soon as my eyes pop open I'm up and running! So many things to do not enough hours! 💜

[@debzehr3244]

Thank you for sharing this stitch. I think coral stitch is going to become one of my favorites. 💖 I love your idea of wrapping your scroll on driftwood. 💖💖

[@JeriBellini]

That Coral stitch is going on one of my Dots! I really enjoyed using it! ♥️

[@gloriaurban4389]

Thank you, I've not made this stitch in years. Thanks for the lesson.

[@JeriBellini]

You are welcome! I hope you enjoyed my blah blah too! 💛

[@gaylerichardson900]

Love this stitch!

[@JeriBellini]

Thank you, have fun with it! 💜

[@cathywhitney8194]

Such a versatile stitch. I appreciate you. ❤

[@JeriBellini]

and I really appreciate that you left me 3 comments! HUGS! 💛

[@rosemaryhaverstock1224]

This was very interesting, I just found you yesterday. I am an English woman living in Canada. I like to hand embellish with simple stitches so thank you 😊 ❤

[@JeriBellini]

You are so welcome! I love any type of stitching! Welcome! ❤️

[@janekrut2799]

I lvoe the stitch and the flower, will try soon.

[@dailydoseofpaper]

Thank you Jeri! I love couching and never knew this stitch so will give it a try. K3n has got me deep into stitching. Love your channel, hugs from the Netherlands💖🍀

[@JeriBellini]

Deep is good! Stitching is so good for the soul I think, and something we can do 15 minutes a day. It's like taking your vitamins, you wouldn't skip a day would you? LOL Thanks for being here! 💛

[@marcijlo]

Jeri as always I enjoy your videos and am happy to see your inspiration. Winter is fast approaching and all your ideas will be perfect for the winter days too! Take care and keep moving! Much love Marcy❣️

[@JeriBellini]

Thanks Marci! I am grateful for you! 💛

[@deblee1958]

I love the look of the coral stitch, I gave it a try and did okay and then the thread went loopy which was a nice look but not what I was trying for, so practice is in my future. Just a side note what I have learned from watching other KZbin channels is if a viewers doesn't watch the entire video at one time it will make a difference in the algorithms, so if I can't watch an entire video at one sitting I will often let it play anyway or I wait until I have the time to watch.

[@JeriBellini]

I love that you let it play! I'm trying to TIMESTAMP my videos so people can come in and out of them. Thank you for supporting me! And practice, practice, practice! oxox ♥️

[@charlottewright7549]

This was great always like to learn something new.

[@JeriBellini]

Glad you enjoyed it! 💛💛💛

[@marilynbridger9612]

Really enjoyed learning this stitch thankyou!

[@JeriBellini]

Love this stitch - definitely new to me💕. Thank you🥰

[@JeriBellini]

Great! I enjoyed it too, thanks for leaving a comment! 💛

[@brendagoulette759]

I've never seen this stitch. So pretty ❤️ I know some how KZbin messes up the bell notification button. It hasn't done it to me in a while but I have read about others having that problem. Glad you got to go see your granddaughter for her birthday.. ❤

[@JeriBellini]

I LOVE spending time with the grand babies! Thank you so much for being here! 💛

[@ljshaw8516]

First Jeri, I'd never turn you off, next "I always say going rogue is the way this gal rolls" and Happy Double Digit bday to your granddaughter!! x's lj

[@JeriBellini]

I'll tell Ida! And I appreciate you loving me for who I am! LOL 💛 Thanks for leaving a comment!

[@hollyburke1531]

I’m enjoying your videos and totally agree re the embroidery stitch books. I wanted to tell you about an author I recently discovered and immediately bought her book and started using it! I think you will love it too. Foolproof flower embroidery by Jennifer Clouston. I bought it from Amazon. She also has a great you tube channel. And I follow K3n too!

[@JeriBellini]

OOOhhh... thank you! I'm off to check her out! Thanks for watching! 💛

[@k3n.clothtales]

Love your little book ❤

[@JeriBellini]

Thanks Kathryn! 💛💛💛

[@k3n.clothtales]

I would never click you off but I was saying Jer get the needle in the cloth already and I roared with laughter when you said it straight after and made Stella jump out of her skin. 😂 D'you see, d'you see? 😉❤️❤️❤️

[@JeriBellini]

🤣 I love you! My poor watchers! My brain just doesn't work like most peoples and I just kept thinking of something else I wanted to say... LOLOLOLOL Alright already Jeri! Thanks for watching! 💛

[@k3n.clothtales]

Back atcha 😁♥️

[@marilynbridger9612]

❤you are both amazingly inspirational x

[@karencraig1121]

Great stitch, thanks for sharing.

[@JeriBellini]

You are welcome! I found it to be a very relaxing stitch to do, sorta like slow stitching, methodical and meditative. 💛

[@alexandraalmeida3661]

Hi, Jeri! I’m Alexandra from Portugal, I’ve already watched some of your videos before and I subscribed to your channel today, because I like to learn new stitches taught in a simple way and I really liked this one. I loved it in a round shape. I always like to comment on the videos I watch and I hope this helps you with the algorithm ♥️🧡🤎💙💚💜🩷🩵❤️💛🩶

[@JeriBellini]

IT DOES Alexandra and I appreciate you subscribing AND leaving a comment, it most definetly helps! 💛 Thank you and have a GREAT day! 💛

[@BernieRoss]

Hi Jeri I’m a fairly new follower of your channel, and I love it ♥️…love to you from Melbourne Australia ! I love the coral stitch…now to do some stitching instead of just watching your videos 🤭🤭

[@JeriBellini]

Great idea! Stitch and watch! Thanks for being here! ❤️

[@user-ij6el1jf4g]

super beau travail merci

[@JeriBellini]

Thank you SO much! ❤️

[@ljshaw8516]

Sorry about the hiccups on your KZbin. All's been great viewing from New Mexico!🌵**Your Zoom in is perfect!

[@JeriBellini]

Finally! It took awhile to get the zoomed angle in with out blurring and I don't think it blurred AT ALL! Thanks for leaving a comment, it means the world to me! 💛

[@mariemiddleton467]

Thank you for showing how to do the stitch and what it can be used for. Your strawberries are very cute. I joined a block of the month called "Rooted" by Sue Spargo. It was suppose to take a year to complete but it took me about 2 years. I have the needles sold on her website and don't know of a good way to store them. And now the plastic tube they are stored in are falling apart. I would really like to see what you come up with! I enjoy watching your videos 😊

[@JeriBellini]

Oh Thank you so much for your comment and I'll be sure to show you my needle roll. I was going to try a LIVE and show it but it's so boring! LOL SO I stitched around the outside edge and I can just show it in a video.. I'm hoping it will work the way I have in my mind! 💛 Your Rooted sounds wonderful, I'll google it to see what it looks like.

[@lindaschillers6405]

Hi there Jeri! i'm absolutely loving this coral stitch! it is new to me. i really appreciate how well you demonstrate the stitches for us to be able to learn it so easily. will you please tell me where to buy your fabulous felts that you made your lovely strawberries with? they are really beautiful! i "need" some!! you know how it is. i'm so excited to be joining you and everyone else on the DOT adventures! i'm buying the necessary tools to get started. i'm planning on making these DOT squares into my very FIRST quilt and i'm going to keep it for myself to use. i love your channel and am so happy to have found you through Kathryn several months ago. Jennifer Clouston now has 4 terrific embroidery books and a newish channel. i know you will appreciate her work and her artistic sensibilities. THANK YOU JERI for being yourself and for inspiring us all. take good care. linda from california

[@JeriBellini]

I got 2 of her books from the library, I believe it was you that told me about her originally. And I have watched her vids. The strawberries are made from dyed wool. I am going to dye some this summer and will put it in my etsy shop. I'll be sure to let everyone know. I. have a whole bolt of wool! I don't do anything in a small way! 💜

[@lindaschillers6405]

thanks for answering Jeri! i will buy some wools when they are ready. gorgeous colors. i forgot to mention that i am so appreciating that you are teaching us other ways to use each stitch you demonstrate. this is just so darn HELPFUL!!!! THANK YOU!!! linda from California

[@JeriBellini]

@@lindaschillers6405 You are so welcome Linda! 💜

[@bevricker4812]

I would do single stitches at different angles to make grassy weeds along the bottom

[@JeriBellini]

that sounds wonderful!! ❤️

[@hadiel6894]

Grazie❤

[@JeriBellini]

You are so welcome! 💛

[@user-xr1ub1dj2s]

Isn’t it amazing there are so many beautiful stitches out there. I tend to use the same ones all the time that I feel comfortable with. I will be trying these new ones that you are showing. Thanks for all you do.❤❤

[@JeriBellini]

I hear that! I'm the same way... and I was thinking why can't we use some of these simple embroidery stitches in our slow stitching projects?? I mean this one in particular is very meditative... Thanks for being here and leaving a comment. I really apprieciate it! 💛

[@gaylecmiel8221]

Hi Jeri…I’d love a video or live or whatever to demo how you’ll make your needle roll. Ihave the same concerns…needles of all different sizes getting mixed together and not know one form the other! We would be so smart!!😜. Gayle in MN.

[@JeriBellini]

I finished mine finally and would be happy to show it! 💜

[@coloradoblueskiesboutique7720]

Jeri, Sue Spargo has tags to go with her needles. Could save a lot of time sewing the names and sizes.❤

[@JeriBellini]

I know! LOL I got some when I ordered her needles but I added a few other needles and wanted to use my own rattie edged ones! I'm going to stitch them on tonight finally! I have to get my table cleaned off! ❤️

[@susandeveaux4117]

Love this coral stitch !!! That peachie variegated thread is cool too…what kind of thread is i ??? I love the thickish texture!!! Thanks for your videos !! 🪡🧵💙

[@JeriBellini]

It's a DMC size 5. I think I picked it up at an embroidery shop. It did make a pretty flower! 💛 Thank you SO much for watching and leaving a comment! 💛

[@bevricker4812]

I tried two and three wraps for a larger coral bell

[@JeriBellini]

I'll have to try that, it sounds wonderful! ❤️

[@cathywhitney8194]

Cute strawberry ornament. ❤ 3 comments to help the algorithm. Lol

[@JeriBellini]

You're the best! Thanks for being here Cathy! sending hugs!!! 💛

[@gailblauw9843]

Have you tried Karen Kay Buckley Perfect Circles? Game changer!!!!

[@JeriBellini]

NO!? I will go look right now! Thanks for sharing that! ♥️♥️♥️

[@annmariehayes5641]

I have been going through your videos and liking them hope this helps out? Edit i love the coral stitch in the circle better ❤

[@JeriBellini]

Yes! Thank you! Watch them too if you have time! One of my friends lets them run on and on to put her to sleep! LOLOLOLOL 💜💜💜

[@margaretbachmeier5299]

Hello Jenni, the videos I’m watching about the kanwandi quilt is not a lot of people talk about the bottom fabric. The one you start on. The question is what kind of Fabric do I use. Quilt Cotton, Flannel. The one you used , the one that sew like butter, haha. I forgot the name. What do I use… please help. I’m learning from You how to make a Kanwandi quilt. Thank You.

[@JeriBellini]

I used cotton quilting fabric in one but I think you are referring to the quilt I made where I used wool for the backing. It's very non traditional but it does quilt like butter and I enjoy it. Have fun whatever you decide to do! It's all about experimenting and having fun! 💛

[@cathywhitney8194]

I have no idea what a cofi??? page even is. Can you explain?

[@JeriBellini]

Oh sure Cathy, firstly, type in Kofi... and it will take you there. Simply put it's a way to support your favorite content creators for the free content they offer on YT. Creators use Ko-fi as a simple 'tip-jar' to receive donations and/or they can offer private extra things that they don't do on YT. The donation or tip, can be a once and done or it can be a monthly pledge. Hope that makes sense. I have a link in my description box, you can take a look to see what I set up. Clicking on the link won't automatically make you donate anything, but will let you take a look around. Thanks for asking!!! 💛💛💛💛💛
