My mother, 97, told me this is the stitch she learned in school sewing class to sew kimono.

Never thought before to try putting a thimble around the middle of my finger instead of the end. Interesting choice! I'll have to experiment with that idea some to see how it feels for me.

[@katelyn3997]

Marialla, that thimble is used traditionally for sashiko. It’s made from leather & has small indentations on it that the needle sits in. I have a few of those thimbles that I purchased in Japan. I have all Yoko Saito’s books though most are written in Japanese and have met her many times and taken classes with her in Japan.

Any videos of Yoko hand quilting?

[@stonecrestquilt]

She’s wonderful!

[@sammythehamster9093]

I came across one get book and can immediately tell the patterns are hand piecing. I asked my sister to get one of her patchwork book for my birthday. I struggle with my sewing machine to see straight. I made machine pieced backing of is always not helped by pressed foot being crooked. After removing the guard of should be little easier. I brought gauge foot this too didn't wasn't straight but can alter into something. Being multi skilled has benefits. I really want give hand piecing a go the whipped stitch on EPP can be slow and hard on the hands.

How can I find her line of fabrics? The soft colors are just beautiful and elegant. So happy I found these videos. New fan!

[@Martingale]

Hi, thanks for your question! If you search "Yoko Saito Lecien fabrics" you should be able to find her fabric lines!

[@soniarodriguez2072]

She's good.

[@THEQUILTINGOWL]

Wonderful!

[@rosiedillow4332]

Does she cut a length of thread or just pull off the spool until she is done with a section does she go back and backstitch the first stitches?

[@susanstreet9544]

Rose O I have never thought of that, fingers crossed we find out

[@kzookid2051]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXi1fqRom9iNeM0 shows how she starts and ends her stitching.

[@rosiedillow4332]

Kzoo Kid thank you but I seen that video but in this video she does not start with a back stitch here like she does in the log cabin one that was the reason for my question.

[@nitashethia207]

Very nice

[@sandragreene7894]

what size needle I wonder

[@karenmartin4581]

Amazing!!!

[@sandrinou1329]

I can't do it with this technique. I can't push and hold pin in the same time.

[@dianekirkhart9953]

Where can you purchase her leather thimble?

Ver resume de jumbo

*WOW, MY FINGERS ARE ASTONISHED!* . . . *I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO KEEP THE THIMBLE ON MY FINGER. IT WANTS TO FALL OFF. SO I DON'T USE IT.*
