    Thank you for taking the time to do this video. Tip number three, pulling the fabric, not the needle, was something you suggested to me a few weeks ago when I was having trouble. It made all the difference!!! You are very generous to share your time and expertise.

    I use to do handsewing like this as a small child with scraps from mom's fabric she made our dresses with. I made purses, small clothing items,, and just sewed rows and rows of stitches. Thanks for bringing back sweet memories of my childhood.

    Thank you for your video. It is so helpful. And for step 4, since there isn't one word in English that covers this movement I would say "smooth the fabric in one long stroke" or "unbunch the fabric by pulling it taut down the length of the stitched thread". Obviously, "itokoki" is a much more efficient and elegant word!

    • @swright1328

      Or ‘distribute the thread evenly until the fabric lies flat’.Thank you for the video I enjoyed it.

    • @cameronatkins7496

      I was thinking flatten it so the sashiko thread is flush with the fabric

    • @cameronatkins7496
      @cameronatkins7496 Рік тому +1

      Flush would be the word, "completely even or level with another surface"

    Excellent class... Yes, you are translating accurately in regard to 'smoothing down' the fabric; and yes, pulling the fabric and not the needle makes sense. In regards to fabric and thread material combinations, is it good practice to use the thread and patches made of the same material or are there patch and thread combinations that work better and/or are sturdier and/or function better together during and/or after the assembly of the patch? Thank you for the video and any input you can give. :)

  • @mswetra2610

    I think it was the old way of learning for many cultures. We were not to speak unless spoken to, which stopped many questions. When we watched long enough we would learn and then maybe ask a question. The old way worked.

This is the reason why I have reached age of 58 years and have not yet tried Sashiko though I find it very lovely. I thank you for saying with practice our stitch length will become more even. This has encouraged me to purchase some Sashiko supplies. Plus, your should not worry - your English translations and pronunciation are very good. Good job.

    Wow ty so very much for this video. I've watched other videos on sashiko and really thought I was doing the stitch correctly as in my videos. But I dont think I am as they are much longer stitches. Oops! But after I finish the projects that I have in the makings I will be doing much smaller stitches. Only thing is I have about projects started. I find I actually finish things that way and dont get bored!!!!!!!!THATS THE RIGHT BRAINED, EXTREMELY RIGHT BRAINED PERSON. Thanks again for your time and expertise. I love your accent. I could listen to you all day. Added benefit to watching your videos.

    I'm enthralled with Sashiko, as of a couple days ago. I have mended a pair of jeans, constructed a palm thimble, and mended a hand towel, so far. I am also new to slow stitching & have seen Sashiko used in that. It is my new passion & I appreciate the things you've taught me, today. Your instruction will improve my next project! P.S. I'm getting very tired of threading needles, so if you have a new tip for that, please let us know :)

  • @user-lu2tb9nc3x
    @user-lu2tb9nc3x Місяць тому

    Have you ever found that by pulling the fabric that the fabric developed separation of the fibers to create larger holes or other defects? I realize that you are not pulling that hard, but I imagine different types of fabric would behave differently with stress on its fibers. I assume cotton or linen type fabrics are better or more preferable for Sashiko.
    Thank tou for the video and explaining the terms asdociated with Sashiko, I appreciate learning them.

  • @user-lu2tb9nc3x
    @user-lu2tb9nc3x Місяць тому

    I would call the technique: gently smoothing the fabric to remove the gathers or puckers until it is smooth
    (For thise who dont sew often: gathering- the technique of pulling fabric together by pulling the thread shorter than the width of the fabric so that it puckers or puffs up, like for a woman's blouse sleeve or a skirt to give it fullness).

      I really meant the core of "learning by observing". At the same time, it isn't reasonable to expect one to spend decades to learn one content. Therefore I develop the class - to support one to start in the "good" direction to avoid possible detours. Detours are good - however, people usually get tired even before going into the detours. So here I am. Thank you!
