That braid trick! Wow, genius. Worth watching for that tip alone. Fantastic video.

I bought a sashiko book a year ago. Flipped through, put it away; flipped through, put it away; thought about giving it to my sister, put it away. Now that I have a much better grasp on the technique, I can see sashiko projects in my future. Thank you for the confidence boost and the fabulous tips and tricks.

I love Susan's love and enthusiasm for this art. Very touching. xx

I totally enjoyed watching this and the pace she went was ideal, so I didn't have to rewind. This was GREAT! So glad I ran across this before starting my project.

Brought back some happy memories of a class I did with Susan some time ago! I still have the drawstring bag I made and use it regularly- which proves how well sashiko lasts. Thank you

So wonderful to have these tutorials to look back on when you are ready to start a new project.

I've been hand sewing for about 4 decades and I've always done it by doing several stitches at once, then pulling the needle-pushing the fabric to get the thread through. I never knew that was an actual technique, just always thought I was in a hurry to get sewing done lol. I'm just getting into making my own clothes now and I'm very excited to look at including this as part of personalising my work. Thank you.

Fantastic. So clearly and calmly explained. Love it.

This is such a well articulated tutorial. Great work!

Hi, the knot at 38 minutes is a sheet bend. A perfectly normal sailors knot. What IS amazing is that you tie it in such short ends.

Oh how I wish I’d seen this video when I taught myself sashiko a bit over 5 years ago. I learned so many tips and tricks and now I’m inspired now to graduate from using pre-printed fabric to drawing my own designs. I especially appreciated how you explained the order of stitching, which I’ve never been able to get right. Thank you so much!!

I love the fact that they were not trying to sell you anything but I would buy a Sachiko kit if they sell it.

What a marvelous tutorial! I feel like I'm ready to give this a try. Thank you!

I've been enjoying observing this technique and the results of the process, thank you for sharing, this is a project I would enjoy doing

This has inspired me to use similar patterns in my quilting. I cannot wait to adapt this to my quilts!! Thank you very much!!

Wonderful tutorial. I’ve have been doing sashiko for years and you have just taught me many tips I didn’t know about. Thank you so very much.

My first sashiko project was using canvas and multicolor yarn for the outside of a pen/brush roll and I absolutely love it. Having the grey background with the multicolor yarn really makes it pop for an art tool and I always get compliments whenever I pull it out in front of new people!

Thank you - this was totally awesome & very inspiring!! Now, I will definitely look into getting all the necessary supplies to try this sewing technique!!

Wonderful video. Thank you for such clear and concise instructions. Cant wait to get started.

Really enjoyed this tutorial. She made it look so easy, which I know it isn't but I do think it's doable.

Wonderful piece and fantastic instructions. Thank you so much.

This was extremely helpful to watch and I am anxious to try Sashiko!

Brilliant. I love the weaver’s knot. Wow! Thank you!

This is an amazing tutorial! Thank you!

Thanks for all the kind comments! Re the camera shots, actually it was recorded with two cameras running all the time. One overhead and one in front, then it was edited together afterwards. I didn't get any say in the editing, unfortunately, otherwise I would have had more and longer 'hand shots' rather than face on! We are thinking about making some more tutorials, so I'll read through your comments and try to get them taken onboard when we do.

Wonderful demonstration! This is a new concept for me. I’m planning to patch some jeans-which has suddenly become fashionable! I love the idea of strengthening as well as embellishing the design elements, using sashiko! Large patches on jeans pucker and don’t hold up over time. So this is also very practical. Thank you so much! I learned so much in such a short demonstration. Well done!

Amazingly a lovely technique to work with

Wow! This is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing. Stephanie from California

What a treasure trove of tips. And so eloquently communicated. Thank you my dears for this wonderfully presented video

Thanks for sharing, this is great. Love all the tips and tricks too. I love the look of sashiko, now I feel confident enough to give it a go. 🙂

I had never heard of this technique. It satifies the math monster in me. I can't be the only person who saw this pattern and thought Spiderman

The weavers knot I learned is a slip knot on the new thread and put the old thread into the loop of the slip knot. Position the loop where you want the knot and close the loop and pull hard to flip the old thread. It’s a tiny knot that you can undo. To undo, just pull on the old thread to undo the flip and slide the knot off the thread.

Sa shi ko Sash ko both different. Sashiko embroidery has been used in Japan for centuries, dating back to the Edo era of the 1600s to the 1800s. The Japanese word sashiko means "little stabs" and refers to the small stitches used in this form of needlework. This style of embroidery and the "sashiko stitch" was used to reinforce or repair worn fabric or tears with patches, making the darned piece ultimately stronger and warmer.

Beautiful. So interesting. First time seeing this technique. Thank you for sharing. I will definitely try this.

That knot is EVERYTHING!

Wonderful and informative video. Learned a lot. Thank you much.

WOW !!! That is beautiful ♥

Great technique and great teacher! Thank you 🩷

Very interesting needlework; I want to try this soon! Thanks for sharing!

My one negative view is I wish the camera remained on the activity throughout instead ofcontinously switching to the speakers. I'm a beginner and just as I'm focusing and trying to understand what I'm seeing the camera moves onto Susan and the other lady. Grrrr!

詳しい説明で好感が持てますね。(一つ難点を上げれば、オープニングの音楽が中国風であること。)

Brilliant tutorial, thank you! 🙏🏻 💙❤️💙

Fascinating...a completely new art form for me...

So helpful, thank you!

This is a wonderful tutorial! I have learned so many tips that will help me. Thanks so much🪡👍🏻

Fabulous instructions❣️

Wow the weavers knot. Fantastic!

Amazing!!!! So nice and ispiring video. That would be my new hobby. Thank you both

Fabulous tutorial I just learnt SO much from you today. Love this technique tfs Kathy from Sydney Australia ❤ I hope you see more of your videos.

Thank you enjoyed this tutorial

Thank you so very much for all the information! I’m brand new to Sashiko and found this so informative! May I suggest adding links to online purchases for the threads and needles? That would be even better ❤️

Ty the joining knot was very helpful

Excellent instructions!!

New and discovering this stitching process and wanted to add in my learning, I saw somewhere that the shorter needles are ideal for curved stitches! Thought that was interesting!!! Cheers!

I like to give this a try...I find it interesting!

Well done & informative, thanks

Great video and learned a lot!!!

Trying such a fascinating trick

Good clear informative video!

Amazing tutorial!

I am definitely visually oriented!!

38:02 wow amazing knot, thanks

Could you give a line drawing of how to draw the pattern? I got lost because the marker did not show up very well. Thanks.

Great information!

Beautiful.

37:30 minutes shows weavers knot. Brilliant

Thank you

This is wonderful. I wished she had showed how she did the knot in the end. That was really important to know. Thanks!

Thank you for the order of stitching and the thread keeping. I want to learn sashiko for mending denim. I'm thinking the stitches will have to longer bc the denim weave is so thick. I'd also like to know if the sashiko will help make a thinner patch cloth stand up to the wear and tear that denim takes.

Saludos cordial de Chile a qui se llamaría" ropa remendada" los felicito ellos valoran.

Very interesting 🤔 ty😊

Wonderful tutorial, it is close to Sindhi, Baluchi and Bengali stitches, they too use running stitch and backstich for their pattern. Can you please tell me what thread and needle is used for shashico embroidery

Just come across sashiko today. I am struck how similar it is to Blackwork stitching

Beautiful

I’m trying to decide how to move forward with finishing my first grandchild’s baby quilt. I’m torn between the traditional Amish style small rocking stitch, or perhaps going with a larger stitch. I’m having a hard time with the tiny needle and thimble to spoon rocking technique. My underneath stitches are much smaller then my top stitches. Maybe I should try larger stitches.

thank you

Can anyone tell me the thread size I can't where she said it thank you

38:10 The weaver's knot bit, you're welcome.

Could you give me names of the different markers you use-thank you

Again, never thought of making pincushion! Can have the “Colored” sample on it to remember the order you go in...

Thought was a “Mending” technique... never thought of framing!

Do the stitches have to be equal in size i still find it hard to have equal stitches?

I tried to follow this and then determined that I would like to see her draw the remainder of the design. Where are her landmarks for the outside zigzagging? What determined her points?

weavers knot at 41.00 , beautiful

Спасибо. 💕

You need to show in large so that can be well visualize

I would really like to try this on my grand daughters jean jacket. Just using the cream or white. It was amazingly informative, thank you. Do you think it could be done on denim ? I think it would be a fantastic way to bring old and new together.

Is there a site that explains how to draw other patterns? This was so helpful!

Thimble? Are they encouraged?

I went to school with a Susan Briscoe in South Africa. She was also from the UK🇬🇧 I was wondering if it would be you Susan by any chance.

Is Sashiki part of Ainu culture? Why did they show Ainu people in the beginning?

Hi. Can I ask where can I buy sashiko thread in big cone or ball like you? Thank you.

Watching for the second time. I know its not traditional but for demonstration purposes it would have been easier for us to see on any color other than black!

I was hoping to see a list of materials used in the video…

38:30 knot to join thread ends

J'aimerais tellement un sous titrage 😢

Супер. Хорошо

Make the sample!!

Sachiko is Japanese, how come to use not-Japanese music for the introduction????
