Her running stitch looks to be called a 3 step zigzag stitch on other machines. It will show that there are about 2 or 3 stitches each zig and each zag. And you may need to use a size 16 or 18 needle, as well as do not stitch too fast! Go, slower than if you were doing clothing/quilting. Also, I did not see how to end it?
A little dab of fabric glue may help when wrapping the clothes line with the fabric at the spot where you are changing of colors of fabrics.
