- Thank you for watching!
In this video, I stitch some Hitomezashi patterns with a 1/4" grid to compare with my usual 5mm grid. Do the patterns look different on different grid sizes?
The patterns I stitched in this video are:
Cross-flower stitch (Juji-hana Zashi)
• Sashiko Cross Flower s...
a variation of Zenizashi (on the sampler I showed in this video)
• I made a Sashiko sampl...
Hanazashi
• I made a super cute Sa...

Thank you, that was very interesting as a beginner. Your work is very beautiful too!
Thank you so much😊❤️🧵🪡
Really helpful Thankyou 🎉
Thank you so much😊❤️🧵🪡
Fascinating! I think this'll help me up my game with really dense patterns in particular. Also,the difference between the horizontal and diagonal thread tension was a real eye opener, and explains some of the issues I've had stitching on clothing for repairs!
Thank you so much😊 I had been thinking about trying this personally but I didn’t think anyone else would be interested in such a trivial experiment, so I was not sure if I should make a video about it😅
Now I’m glad that I did it❤️
Personally (and I'm an absolute beginner), I use both. It depends on the pattern and the thickness of the thread and fabric. I grew up with metric but after 12 years in England, I also use Inches
That’s so handy😊 I’m only familiar with metric, as we hardly use inches in Japan.
The viewers of this channel are from all around the world, so I wanted to do this video😊❤️🪡🧵
This was a very valuable lesson and my take is that for some patterns the quarter inch is better and for some the 5mm one. You must have quite the collection of samples😍and I am curious as to what type of fabric you use for them because I find that it makes a big difference in how the needle goes through.
Thank you as always😊❤️🧵🧵 I only stitch on a 5mm grid so I always thought I needed to compare them side by side to understand the difference.
I stitched on a plain quilting cotton this time. I purchased this one recently and I was wondering if it’s woven too tightly but it was relatively easy to stitch.
Have you gotten used to stitching on Sarashi? I am thinking about investigating more on fabric types and thickness of needles too❤️👍
I love working on Sarashi and I guess I am going to have to just try different types of fabric. Some are woven more tightly than others. I am not on instagram but my granddaughter will be here at Christmas time and she will help and show me how Instagram works. I am not too computer savvy but am willing to learn and would love to share some things with you that I have tried, none of them spectacular but it sure is a lot of fun to learn and try to perfect my stitches. At 83 my eyesight is not what it used to be so I can only do this kind of work for short periods before my eyes get tired and things get fuzzy. I am not quitting!!
That’s great to hear that you are enjoying Sarashi😊 I have almost used up mine so I should get the next roll soon!
I’m not tech savvy either😅 I had made the Instagram account but hadn’t been using it for a while. When I logged in to the account recently, I noticed that some people had shared their projects they made watching my videos🥹 They were amazing so I decided to restart it.
Instagram is just a little extra so please do not feel pressured to make an account if it’s too much💕😊
Thank you for showing the difference. I am an absolute beginner and this video helped clear up some of my doubts. I am still worried about fabric choices. I am currently using quilting cotton and not sure if making the investment to purchase sashiko fabric would make a difference. Is there a huge difference?
I think it depends on what you are making. It’s believed that Sashiko originally started to stitch old tattered fabric pieces together to reinforce them, so there’s no official ‘Sashiko fabric’.
Some people use indigo dyed ‘Momen’ cotton as that’s the fabric we often had in old times, and some people look for vintage fabrics at flea markets and stitch Sashiko on them. Also linen and cotton linen are common for Sashiko.
When you make a Hanahukin (a food covering/tea towel with Sashiko), we use Sarashi which is Japanese traditional multipurpose cotton fabric. It’s very affordable in Japan and costs about US$6-7 per 10 metres. When I purchased in Australia, it was about AU$30 (US$20). You can make about 15 Hanahukins out of it, so it was not so costly (but it’s not easy to find one).
I don’t think you need to invest in a specific fabric, but I’d recommend trying to stitch on different types of fabric and find something easy for you to stitch. If your fabric is too tightly or too loosely woven, you may find it hard to stitch.
Also, thickness of your needle makes a big difference to your final product. I use a thick needle for denim and a thin needle for Sarashi.
If your quilting cotton is tightly woven and you are using a thick needle, you may struggle to stitch smoothly.
So, I’d recommend checking if the combination of your fabric and your needle is right before investing in anything specific😊❤️🪡🧵
I love the mat you are using to measure your lines. my quilting cutting mats don't have such great detail. what mat is this please?
Thank you for asking😊 This is from JK trading, an Australian company who sells craft & sewing supplies.
It has both metric and imperial measures🧵🪡
I am in Australia so I will have a look online. thank you@@thegreenwrapper
🇫🇷👍👍👍💕💕💕🫶
Thank you😊❤️🪡🧵
Wouldn’t Japanese people have used native units of measurement when sashiko was first developed? Surely inches would have arrived only after 1854.
Yes, that’s correct. As I explained in this video, we only started (officially) using metric systems from the end of 19th century (and we rarely use inches in Japan).
In Edo era when Sashiko started, we used Shakkan-ho (尺貫法) which is a Japanese measurement system😊
