I just discovered sashiko and am addicted to it! Your videos are very helpful, thank you! I found that pearl cotton is a good substitute for sashiko thread - unlike embroidery floss, it doesn't separate out into individual strands. It's also soft and easy to use.
Thanks for the demo. Especially basic stitch technique, push the fabric onto the needle, push the needle through the stitches with this thimble. Quite a change of method from other sewing, embroidery, etc.
Being a UA-cam enthusiast and an avid cross stitcher, I accidentally came across Sashiko and was fascinated by this style of embroidery 🪡. I kept wondering if one could use alternative threads and this particular video helped me immensely as I would like to give it a try, something very simple to start. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.👍💐🙏
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's very difficult to order things from Japan because I live in Australia and many things don't ship here. But I'll see what I can get here as a substitute. Thank you for sharing how you make your patterns. I've always loved traditional Japanese patterns. I was worried how to get the thimble but I have some leather so I'll make one for myself! Have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you for your comment! I’m also in Australia so I’m in the same situation! Thinking about the history of Sashiko, I really think it doesn’t make sense to ship threads from overseas. Finding alternatives is also fun. I hope you enjoy your Sashiko projects!
First hello and thank you for the video. This is something I’ve wanted to try for awhile and your video has pushed me to do it. Next as someone who embroiders and crochets, you should look into crochet thread. I think it’s the same texture and ply and the sashiko and is usually 100% cotton. I saw you were still replying to comments as of a few weeks ago so if haven’t tried this yet I hope it helps and works.
Thank you for your comment❤️ That's a great idea! I actually do have a cotton crochet thread (size 20) and I was wondering the same thing! I should give it a go💕 Thank you so much😊
I love your videos but I wish you had a narrator voice so that I can concentrate on what you are showing me! this is a new skill for me and I am loving it! Your work is so beautiful!
Thank you so much for your feedback😊 I really understand that you like to have narration instead of captions. English is not my first language so it takes too long time to record my narration😅 I have very limited time to record the video and edit it to be able to release videos regularly, so I have to stick with the captions for the moment. Sorry about that❤️
I think it’s best to check the length of the line you’re going to stitch and cut the thread to the length. This way, you don’t need to change your thread at an awkward position of the pattern. I often run the thread over the line to check the length before cutting it. Having said that, it’s better not to cut your thread too long as it can get tangled easily. I would keep it up to 70-80cm. Happy stitching❤️🪡🧵
I am trying to get the hang of using the needle and sashiko thimble. Do you always use the needle against the thimble when you sew? I suppose it takes a lot of practice to become proficient.
Some people don’t even use a thimble. But I find it easier and quicker to stitch if I use a thimble when I stitch a straight line with a relatively long needle. With a shorter needle like a normal sewing needle, I find it hard to hold it in the same way. As I started Sashiko with a shorter normal needle, I tend to hold a needle incorrectly but I think usually you hold a needle with your thumb and index finger using a thimble.

@Ferican-wk2xg The books I learnt Sashiko from are all in Japanese and they seem to be no longer printed. The author of my books is Eiko Yoshida but I don’t know if you can find anything written by her anymore. I don’t know specific titles but there are a lot of Sashiko books translated to different languages out there and I’m sure they are all helpful especially if you’re a beginner😊❤️🧵🪡
You are generous to share your knowledge in this platform. I clearly understand the basics of sashiko. Thank you so much ❤
Thank you💕

I agree that pearl cotton is a good substitute if you don’t mind the sheen.
Beautiful, thank you.

I can spin using a drop spindle so I’d be tempted to ply the embroidery thread to stop it splitting. ❤

Hiye tqvm i love your channel . I have a question - what is a good length to cut your sashiko thread tq
I think it’s best to check the length of the line you’re going to stitch and cut the thread to the length. This way, you don’t need to change your thread at an awkward position of the pattern.
I often run the thread over the line to check the length before cutting it.

Tqvm for the prompt reply :) all the best
