I really appreciate that you have in time stamps so I could skip padt the grid as I have seen you demonstrate this before. As always I love you videos!
Thank you for the question! As you stitch the pattern, the thread tends to move and contract and warp the fabric. Those parts where you have a long thread at the back tend to do it more. Once it happens, it’s not easy to relieve the thread tension. So, we usually leave the threads a little loose, so that the threads have some room to move without warping the fabric. I hope this helps❤️😊🪡🧵
There are many ways to stitch this pattern😊 Mine is just one example. You can stitch in the way you like! People often try to find the most efficient way but you may want to find a different way, if you are stitching with multiple colours or if you are not adding a backing to the stitched piece, etc.
Thank you for the question! I used a Sashiko thread. Although Sashiko emerged as a method to reinforce worn-out fabrics by stitching them together when cotton fabric was not affordable for ordinary people (especially in the northern part of Japan), in the modern time with the better affordability of cotton, the purpose of Sashiko shifted more towards embellishment. So you can stitch Sashiko on a single layer piece of fabric and add backing to it, and you can also choose to stitch on layers of fabric. I do both. The point of using Sashiko threads for embellishment I think is the thickness. The pattern stands out with a thick thread. For modern Sashiko, people use thinner threads as well, especially for small and intricate patterns.
I’m actually using one for my business cards but I originally made it for my daughter who asked me to make one for her library cards and student card. She chose the pattern too. You don’t have to stitch it on a card case though😅
I’m so happy that your channel appeared in my timeline. I was never interested in embroidery, but this is the perfect kind!
Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank you❤️ Sashiko is simple but beautiful. I hope you enjoy it!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I’m still learning too and so happy to be able to share the joy of Sashiko with you.

Why do you need loose threads in the back ?

If not sewing together, do you have to follow pattern directions?

What thread? Though the point of the “S” thread was that it melded with fabrics…

Could have made with two pockets?
That's a nice idea!😍
Cards for what?
Business?
