How to Transfer Sashiko Pattern on Fabric [Sashiko Tutorial]

The word of Sashiko (刺し子) means "stitching" but Sashiko is not all about Stitching.
Preparing the fabric properly is another important process of Sashiko Project. Here is a tutorial how to transfer the Sashiko pattern.
Some of the materials and supplies I used in the video are available online (Carbon paper & Mylar paper). Please visit this website for the detail & shopping.

Please prepare them by yourself.

Thank you and Enjoy Sashiko!

What is the benefit of using transfer paper to get the pattern on the fabric instead of just drawing the pattern directly on fabric with chalk pencil and ruler? Also did you say to have the lines drawn on the reverse side of the fabric? So you stitch from the reverse side also? Thank you for all your videos, your English is amazing and your passion for your craft is exciting.

Why do you have a layer of Mylar paper.?..is it to avoid carbon paper tear?

[@kathyb4266]

Thanks. Great explanation.

[@SashikoStory]

Thank you for the comment!

[@fulllinestencilbyhancycrea9939]

wow, that's a lot of work. Thank you for that illustration.

[@carolynbutler4838]

Is there a reason you transfer the pattern onto the back side of the fabric rather than the front side? I find it more difficult to stitch on the back side.

[@ranmalidesilva7374]

1. You transfèr design on the wrong side of fabric .....so we should ztich o the wrong side?...is it neater to sew on the wrong side?

[@SashikoStory]

We stitch looking on the wrong side. For the details, please take my Online Class.
