Thank you for your in-depth teachings of Sashiko. I'm recovering from a hand injury and this has helped me in therapy to learn how to control my hand and fingers again. Also, the Japanese tradition is beautiful and I hope I can help preserve your traditional methods.
You are the only person I know that keeps the true meaning of all of this, others don’t seem to know the history, you respectfully keep reminding us of what is the true meaning.
Thank you for the comment. There are many many people who keep the meaning & story of Sashiko - they just don't speak & write in English. I appreciate you (& others like you) to try to preserve the voice instead of following easy & comfortable voice by someone who know almost nothing about Sashiko.
Great demonstration. I saw another video showing the overkaping stitches, where the stitcher went between the two fabric layers and only did the backstitch on the back side of the piece, so the front will look cleaner. That made sense to me although I could imagine, that your way might be a bit more sturdy.
I read how to do this in a pattern book I bought but wasn't quite sure, your video was helpful and I understand now. You have an accent but your English is very clear and easy to understand, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
I am fascinated to hear from American friends that starting to stitch, in plain sewing, embroidery, darning or any form, it is acceptable to knit the thread. I learned to see in many styles as a little child, by watching my grandmother's and also in early primary school years and the same no-knot techniques you show here was always used.
One year ago, I did two bags with Sashiko art. I sold them so fast that I couldn’t have time to enjoy them. The impact in people feeling is impressive, specially is we used blue indigo fabric with white thread 🧵. Thank you teacher.
Thank you so much for sharing this instruction, your English is very good. I fell in love with sashiko while traveling in Japan so I'm teaching myself. I was getting confused when seeing why the back of my work was so messy compared to others. My next project is an indigo cotton scarf which will be visible on both sides. Wish me luck!
I really like your videos very much . Don’t worry your accent is fine and your voice pleasant to listen to . Sashiko is a good thing because it takes patience and then your have something individual, special and it’s hand made which gives it a great beauty. Good luck .
This is such a useful video! After the discussion on the live video this week I thought I would go find the beginning and watch from there. So far, I am not sorry :) Thanks for sharing so much of your experience
Your work is amazing I think you explain well . I can understand everything you say your so distinctive. Thank you again for sharing this with me. I have learned so much. Just practice is all we must do and follow directions. 🧐🤔😉
Great video. Thank you for your work. I am currently researching all I can about sashiko before I embark on adding this beautiful and practical technique to my repertoire. I am buzzing with excitement and cannot wait to finish my current projects so I start with some proper sashiko.
Thank you for your comment. I am glad that you enjoyed the video. My goal is to introduce Sashiko to the world. Let me know if you have any specific request. I would love to see your Sashiko project, too!!
Just ordered your thread, excited to start! (You have a slight accent, but not a Russian accent. Your English is very good! Carry on! Thank you for bringing this craft to us in The West.
Wonderful tutorial, you have a very good flow to your explanations and a lovely tone of voice, all good qualities for a teacher 🙂. I hope you keep on posting videos 👍
Perfect as always. When japoneses do something, they do close to the perfection at least in the sewing area. I have another japanese teacher and and she is the same way.
Well, we culturely feel "shame" and therefore we try to hide something we fix. It is another reason we don't find many Sashko & Boro in comparison to the other Japanese art. More information regarding this are available on my website: upcyclestitches.com
No Russian accent is apparent in your English pronunciation. I have to admit, I don't think your accent sounds quite like a Japanese accent -- I can't quite place it. Maybe this is because it's a combined accent. I think what throws me is that your sentence structure is very good, and most English-as-a-second-language have a tendency to fall back to their native sentence structure, and you don't do that. Anyway, your English is much better than my Japanese (or Russian), so please don't think I'm being critical. I'm grateful for the videos and even more grateful that you can present them in English, no matter how accented. Besides, a slight accent just makes you sound more "authentic". ^_^
Thank You! I've read how not to knot in traditional sashiko, but it's so much more helpful to see a demonstration. You mentioned maybe doing a digital workshop. Have you considered teaming up with Craftsy.com? I've gone ahead and written them an email requesting they considering producing a Sashiko class with you. Best of luck with everything! Looking forward to your next tutorial!
Thank you for your comment, Kristin. Yes. It is my goal to develop the workshop online so the participants take what I do in NYC without traveling to NYC. I checked "Craftsy" and it looks fantastic. It would be great if I can get a professional help to film my workshop. Meanwhile, enjoy my tutorials with very limited equipment :)
Thank you so much for showing this... I've got a question about thread... what's the tex number of sashiko thread? I live in Brazil and we don't have that specific thread here, so I'm trying to find what would be closest. Thanx
Thank you for the comment. I am not sure what you mean by "tex number." What is that? You may want to purchase a good quality Sashiko Thread in order to experience what I share on RUclips. Our Sashiko thread has special twists to enable the technique I introduce. Some embroidery floss or sewing thread will not do the job. We do make an International Shipping, too. Please consider that :)
No Russian accent just person speaking second language and doing it well. I speak little bit of Japanese but could learn nothing from you if you did not speak English. Thank you so much.
I noticed that you asked if you have a Russian accent. Apparently Canadian English is the clearest because of the pronunciation of vowels. Instead of trying to get rid of an accent, it is more important to focus on the rhythm of speaking English. Paying attention to the words in sentences that are emphasized. It is an incorrect rhythm that makes it difficult for new English speakers to make themselves understood...not an accent.
Hi Zaharah... First of all, please be advised that "There is no such a thing as Wrong Sashiko." We just share the technique we received in the history. We believe ours is the most efficient in making Sashiko stitching, but not "right or wrong." Don't discourage you :) I am happy to help you online/offline. I offer workshops in NYC several times a year, or in central Pennsylvania by appointment.
I hope to meet you somewhere in the world! I receive so many requests to develop the online workshop. I hope that I can offer something like that in 2018 :)

This is the best explanation for Kasane. The idea of using a close-up camera is perfect. Thank you.

Fantastic that you sold them so fast. It is always good to skill to do so, and yes, we also love the combination of Indigo and white thread.
I sold the shirt I made with Sashiko stitching to the first person I showed it to. People love it!
Thankyou for such a helpful video .

Thank you! Enjoy Sashiko!!
This is wonderful. In all my years of sewing, I never though to make a secure end and beginning with this method! Excellent video. Julian a
My pleasure.
Wonderful tutorial, you have a very good flow to your explanations and a lovely tone of voice, all good qualities for a teacher 🙂. I hope you keep on posting videos 👍
Thank you. I didn't like my voice in my childhood :D I will keep trying.
Ahhhh, now I see how to begin and end!!!! I will keep searching for your videos. :)
Thank you!!

No need for shame . Repair makes item more beautiful and useful too.
Good video to learn how to stitch without knots. I am a subsciber. Thank you.

Thanks for the tutorial - learnt a new technique
I am glad you enjoyed it. Keep coming back. We will upload more videos (although it may be a bit slow). Thank you!
Thank you for this tutorial! It is very helpful.
Thank you for watching. Let us know if you have any request regarding Sashiko tutorial.
Thank you! It's so amazing!
Everything made very good sense to me. Thank you so very much. I love your tutorials. I find learning from you and watching you work very fascinating
Thank you, Debbie.
I haven't had time to create tutorials recently, but I will do my best to share throughout live-streaming & other videos :D
Thank You! I've read how not to knot in traditional sashiko, but it's so much more helpful to see a demonstration. You mentioned maybe doing a digital workshop. Have you considered teaming up with Craftsy.com? I've gone ahead and written them an email requesting they considering producing a Sashiko class with you.

HE would be GREAT on Craftsy! I use Craftsy a lot... Thank you for doing that Kristin :-)
Very beautiful work! May I ask if the side with lines is the front or back side of the sashiko?
Thanks a lot for the idea.
Great work >> Thank you very much
Thank you for watching. We will upload and improve the video more.
Thank you so much for showing this...
I've got a question about thread... what's the tex number of sashiko thread? I live in Brazil and we don't have that specific thread here, so I'm trying to find what would be closest.
Thanx
Thank you for the comment. I am not sure what you mean by "tex number." What is that?
You may want to purchase a good quality Sashiko Thread in order to experience what I share on RUclips. Our Sashiko thread has special twists to enable the technique I introduce. Some embroidery floss or sewing thread will not do the job.
We do make an International Shipping, too. Please consider that :)
Do you ever use thread conditioner?
Hello, may I ask why you do not stretch the lines at the end of each row?
are you working on the back of the fabric?
Yes. Usually we work on the back of fabric.
I didn't know you worked on the back of the fabric!
What difference does it make what kind of accent you have, as long as you're clearly understood.
Thank you. Yes, but I care if I am delivering the message appropriately. After all, English is my second language.
No Russian accent just person speaking second language and doing it well. I speak little bit of Japanese but could learn nothing from you if you did not speak English. Thank you so much.

I was hoping he would say how to prevent knots from forming on their own.
hello, what is that you have under your finger ring, that you use to push the needle.? thank you! and no. you don
t sound russian.. lol
The ring is called "thimble". You can learn how to use it throughout our website. upcyclestitches.com/
Thank you.
@@SashikoStory now I wish I had ordered the thimble!
Do you not snip the end of the thread off after you overstitch?
We do snip (cut) the end of the thread after several necessary steps.
Do you ever have workshops in Hawaii?
I would love to offer the workshops in Hawaii... but not a plan for now. I will share the information when I can do that.
I’ve been doing it wrong 😢. Where do you conduct your workshop?

Thanks. That's a bit too far for me ... I am writing from Kuala Lumpur!
I hope to meet you somewhere in the world!
I receive so many requests to develop the online workshop. I hope that I can offer something like that in 2018 :)
Your accent is really similar to Russian 😂
Thank you for your compliment DIMA :) Yes. I have Japanese-Russian accent in my English :)
