Unlock Your Creativity with This Thread Painting Tutorial
In Week 34 of the Stitch Journal, we're diving into the enchanting world of thread painting with the beautiful central pansy motif.

Here we go again Marion, something else i want to try, I blame you for making everything look so achievable 😂 wishing you a happy holiday x
This tutorial has made me realise where I have been going wrong,thank you❤
i wish you showed us different colour white on white hade to fallow also you did dubble the fabric i dent get it thanks anyway
Absolutely wonderful tour around the Show....thank you so much....we have nothing like this here. So much to see and all the colours! I have two Patons Beehive Holders...a green one and a blue one....I treasure the green one as my late brother bought it for me.
Fabulous Marion. Just the stitch that I need to get more confident on. Thank you for this tutorial 🥰
Those little books are adorable and such lovely pieces of art, Marion. Just found that older video from you and enjoyed it very much. Have some days at hospital on intense care behind me and will now recover at home a while, but let's see things positive: time for creativity, yay. I will enjoy and make the best out of everything. Your videos make my me-time moments always just the better. I enjoy all of your contents so much. Your previous video of the yarn market where you interviewed some of the people was just making me smile when I was still in hospital. Those yarns were so lovely and I was happy for you when you found some little treasures for your own joy. Time for a slowly dog walk, let's see how far I make it today and how often I have to sit down. Slowly rebuilding my strength, but slowly means: more time to appreciate the wonders of lat summer and slowly showing early autumn.
Your pansies are going to look so beautiful Marion. You have such a talent for making your projects look so realistic. xx
Thank you Marion for your video and a really excellent tutorial. I always shy away from long/short as I feel it looks messy. (My stitching I mean) I can manage it in crewel work (well wool is thicker) but I really feel I can give it a go in stranded cotton again. I think a few drawn lines will help not to mention auditioning the thread. I love that.
How beautiful 😍
I've been afraid to do the long/short stitches, but your explanation has answered several of my questions, and I do believe I'll be able to do this. Thank you.
👍
Absolutely beautiful 💕
Wow beautiful treasure ❤❤❤
Beautiful and fascinating to watch! Enjoy your getaway.
Hi Marion thankyou so much for your tutorial on long and short stitch. Something I have wanted to do for a very long time, however, always feel very daunted by the process. Like you self taught myself embroidery and being in my 60's about time I tackled this technic, never to old to learn 😊 so again thankyou for your video, and your tips and demonstration making it feel achievable ❤
You're welcome Sue 🧵🪡
Here’s our genius crafter again . This woman makes you want to get up and do something . She’s a natural . Cheers from Australia xxx
Hello Marion your Work is outstanding....you ard just Gifted...There is nothing you cant do .... BLESS....x
Thank you so much for this absolutely fabulous tutorial! It was very clear and conscience and I loved watching every stitch! I can’t wait to see how you do the padding in the next video🥰
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 😂
Wow Marion! Thread painting has always eluded me but your explanation and talking through the process is amazing! I think I could actually give this a go now. You’re the best! You enjoy yourself and your get-away…you deserve it!
This video will really help me to get better at my stitching
BRILLIANT VERY INTERESTED ......FABULOUS TUTORIALS.....BEAUTIFUL WORK ....X
Thank you Marion x
What a lovely day love your purchases and such interesting people. ❤
Thank you for this great tutorial Marion! You're a great teacher, best ever indeed!! Have a beautiful vacation, a happy birthday and enjoy every moment. Thank you for doing these videos, even when you're going away. Truly appreciated, and always looking forward to the next one. I love Marion's world!!❤
😮I did not know that about sewing over your finger, hmm I do that will have to make myself one of those “dohickies”😊 did you call it a “ham”?
Beautiful linen very enjoyable color❤❤❤
Were you thinking of the Broderie Perse technique?
I was Sarah. I remembered later and mention it in the next video when I'm finishing the pansy... My grandma used to do it and showed me how when I was young.
hi Marion could you show us how to mend sheets - my lovely dog has one bad habit biting fabric - ive quite a few sheets to repair - some are just tears and others have holes might need patch 💕
I wanted to mention that you said you were working in a less comfortable position because you were trying to make sure we could see. I understand if you had your arm around the tripod that would be a little hard, but I wanted you to know that I feel like I can see if you are using your right hand on top of the work just fine. I don’t like to think of you working in an uncomfortable fashion just so you can make a video for us. To me what you’re saying is the most important thing. I can certainly see enough of the work to see how you’re applying what you’re teaching us.
Thank you for great tutorial. I was looking forward to you showing us how to thread paint. I am sure your pansy will be lovely when it’s finished. You have a great eye for details. When I am ready to give thread painting another go I will definitely be playing your videos again to watch how to do it. I brought some vintage embroidered pictures off the internet a few years ago because I loved the flowers. Never in a million years did I ever think I would be teaching myself to embroider. Your tutorials really help me to keep going. Just love watching you create. Have a lovely holiday.
Hello Marion Thank you for the clear explanation of stitching this pansy, I think I will give it a try. For me, it's totally new. I wish you a very pleasant holiday together with Wendy and I am curious about what kind of workshop you are doing on your 65th birthday. Enjoy it, and I am looking forward to a new autumn and winter filled with nice videos from you. Happy Birthday 🎉🎉❤
Have a look at the website of Beastie Assemblage. We've booked in for a 1 day workshop as it is on the way to the cottage we'll be staying at.
@marionsworld24 I looked it up, I think it will be very interesting, something quite new. Can you choose an animal? I'm looking forward to seeing the result and wish you both a lovely and creative day 😊
Thread painting is something that I've been practicing. Your tutorial has been very helpful and you have explained it so well. Thank you so much, Marion. You're a natural teacher. This piece is already so lovely and only getting better. Have a wonderful trip and birthday! 🎈🎂💕🎉
I'm older and trying to learn some things to relax. I'm incredibly happy to have found your channel. The way you teach is really relaxing & enjoyable. Watching you has encouraged me to start a little project with items I have on hand. We'll see how it goes! 😀 enjoy your trip & stay safe.
Wow, you could teach anyone to do anything Marion. This was priceless. Thank you.❤
Marion, have you ever shown in a video how to separate the threads? I have had a great deal of trouble with that. Today you mentioned that we should take one thread out at a time and recombine it. I have had better luck pulling one thread. Is that just the bottom line, that you always pull one thread? I would like to see how you deal with the thread curling and tangling as you try to pull it. Let me know if that exists somewhere. What I’m doing with your videos is seeing what you advise and how you do things, and comparing it to my own practice. First thing this morning, you mentioned getting your threads going in the direction that the object shows. I was happy to see that I had already figured that one out. Then you mentioned about the one thread, and that’s something I didn’t know. I’m just making a little tally in a way, to see how far along I am. I would call myself a beginner with not much experience. Thank you, and as always, I am really enjoying your video.
Hello Vernie. Yes, once you have cut your length, just hold onto the thread at the top, find the one that you want to pull out, and just pull that one straight up. You'll find that the rest of the strands crumple up in your hand ,but as soon as the one thread comes free the rest of it will relax back again. I'll make sure to show that in the next video I make. That will be on the next page though as the next videos are done already because of going away. I hope that has helped though.
Love your thread painting tutorial today
Oh my goodness so beautiful xx
It's just so beautiful ❤
Have a lovely birthday trip.❤
Marion, that was relaxing and BRILLIANT. Thank you. May I ask what holder/stand you recommend (or use)?
The hoop stand I use is from Lowery Workstands. I've had it since before my channel started. I have a magnifying lamp attached too.
Thank you Marion for another wonderful tutorial🤗Your work is so beautiful and inspiring. So pleased I came across your channel on UA-cam.I am learning so much and will definitely be giving it a go. Enjoy your time in Scotland 🏴 🎉🥰
Brilliant Julie. Thank you..
Thank you, Marion, very helpful tutorial!
So beautiful Marian.
Dear "rebel" (that made me laugh btw.), thank you for another awesome tutorial and those helpful tips. I can't wait to see the finished result.
SO glad you bought the Beehive wool holder, Marion!!! Thank you for a lovely visit to the show - wish I could have been there x
😊🧶
It reminds me of stump embroidery. Very nice work. Thank you.
That's because I do love stumpwork and I like to bring a bit of low relief work into all sorts of other stitching... I'm glad you enjoyed it.. Thank you.
I prefer to stitch with no pins ❤very pretty
Marion Thank you! ❤ This is a very helpful tutorial and your Pensé look so beautiful so far 😍 I have to admit that I misunderstood you about the leaf embroidery 😮. I embroidered them through both layers of fabric...!😱 Didn't realize that until you showed the back of the embroidery in the second video episode 🙃😲😏, but I can still thread yarn into the frame around the picture. I hope there will be a little kind of trapunto in that way.😔 I would love to show you what I embroidered for you, but don't know how to send you the pictures. I have an instagram account but it's private for my family only and I haven't posted any of my embroideries from yor tutorial there either. Not good at using it. Also always forget my password in everything. If you know how I can do, please tell me. Wish you a very Blessed 65 year Birthday 💝🌺🎉 and hope you and your sister will have a very good tour to Scotland!!! 😊❤ /Ingela
I have a printed tablecloth my Mum started embroidering when she was 16, so 71 years ago. She never finished it, & as much as I haveloved embroidery, I was never game to do flowers & solid titration like this. Thank you SOOO very much for teaching me how.
Thank you Marion once again, enjoyed your video. On thread painting, which I am very interested in. Because I am artist my self. Just self taught but want to combine my artwork with my drawings and paintings. With my photography too, and work from my own designs. Thank you for your time and patience. In showing how to do it. Take care and I wish you good health. Leslie from Walsall. Xx❤
