"The Spell" (1977) starring Lee Grant

Anyone remember this one? It's a television horror movie starring Lee Grant as the mother of a plump teenage girl who has telekinetic powers. A complete rip-off of "Carrie", of course. It is one of the weirdest movies I have ever seen for the sole fact that the antihero daughter's entire family exhibits nothing but pure contempt for her, and it all seems completely arbitrary. The entire family (save Grant's character, who is still a bit cold) openly hates her for no apparent reason. Helen Hunt plays her cunt sister.

The girls in her gym class were way extra. The part where the sick neighbor lady / friend “turns” was the highlight. And the parents were total cunts.

Yeah, it sucked. I forgot it until you reminded me.

It was more than telekinesis. She somehow learned witchcraft. She would whisper magic incantations. Somehow Lee got wise and did it back to the (daughter?).

I can’t remember how it ended, but the embroidery ends up in the fire, because that was part of the black magic/spell.

Can anyone provide more info?

Is this the movie where she knocks a girl to the floor while she is climbing the ropes in gym.

Wasn't the mother revealed to be a witch, too? I just watched this on Tubi a few weeks ago.

Yes, Lee is also a witch, which is how Tubby got her powers.
