[@nancymathisen9707]

This video is very well done, especially for your first one. Good lighting, audio, and clear instructions. Thanks.

[@wendywtheakston2604]

A good teacher, clear and straightforward. Thank you.

[@songbanana8]

I bought a sashiko kit and didn't understand the instructions. After watching your video I finally get it! I think I can do this now, thank you!

[@Kimonomomo]

+songbanana8 Yay! Glad I could help. If you have any questions, let me know.

[@marianac.stevenson5781]

Thank you, Carol. Your tutorial is so peaceful and relaxing. Some other videos are full of noises and too many things going on at once. I enjoy your Etsy store and now your tutorials in KZbin.

[@hovawart16]

Thank you for this. And thanks for not trying to "fill up" the space with repeated bars of music, which is a mistake many KZbinrs make, resulting in instructions one has to strain to hear.

[@michellecrabtree9688]

Thank you so very much for such a clear & concise tutorial--I have been anxious to learn the Sashiko technique (i'm an avid seamstress) and after viewing many videos, I was lucky enough to find yours. Well done!

[@joanmacleod1362]

Thank you very much for this video. I am just beginning sashiko and found this helpful

[@lisalisa13green]

Oh! I love that no knot trick. Very cool!

[@matthewflinchum5452]

천천히 알기쉽게 설명해줘서 너무 고마워요 사시코자수를 하려는데 많은 도움이 될거같아요

[@sandymanriquez1461]

🇲🇽 Grcias por su clase

[@MTM61]

Just starting in Sashiko and it seems like fun! I'd like to try transforming a pattern into a quilt. Your tutorial gets rid of the guilt trip of not having "mathematically correct" sized stitches. Thanks!

I guess it is kind of off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream new tv shows online ?

I like the idea of marking it with the plastic tool.

[@nancya8262]

terrific, this was a great video, thanks so much for the clear descriptions and visuals

[@BETHLISITA1]

Belíssimo bordado. Vim conhecer e fiquei encantada. Parabéns.

[@aliverseidge]

Well done. A great video.

[@marciamiller8829]

I just found this method of stitching! I think this would make a very beautiful bed spread....I know....a very tedious project....but lovely nonetheless. I was wondering if your method of marking lines on that piece of light fabric would also work on say....flannel sheet? I am going to start out with a small project to get the hang of it first but have been wanting something like this to do for a long time. Any suggestions are helpful.

[@Kimonomomo]

+Marcia Miller Yes, the hera should work just fine on a flannel sheet.

[@irisshell7671]

Thanks for sharing!,,,, could you please let me know which fabric exactly are you using and where I can buy it on line? Just as of the Japanese white tool to mark the lines? Will appreciate enormously your reply🙏👌 Merry Christmas and a happy 2019👍🌺💌

Hi Iris, we sell everything in our online shop, Kimonomomo. www.etsy.com/shop/kimonomomo

[@paulgoebertp]

thank you!

[@mtnmonamona842]

I am just now learning about sashiko stitching, do most embroiderers sew at a table or is this for demo purposes?

[@aaronpeattie1183]

Hi iv just started sewing to repair so of my gear what Is the brad of needles and tread and thimble you use please?

[@daniesza]

That thimble makes you scrunch up your fingers though no?

[@dianneunderwood8456]

a well done tutorial - love the look it creates. I have a question regarding using it on a quilt top. do you go through all the layers (top, batting and backing) thus also putting a pattern on the backing or do you just put it through the top and batting? I am asking as I have made a reversible table runner (no batting) with a lovely batik pattern for the top side and plain dark colour for the backing. Thought it would be a great opportunity to try a simple sashiko design on the backing. And just wondered if I need to confine it to the back side only? thank you

[@cziogas4259]

Hi Dianne, you can do either. If using batting, go for a lightweight one. I use bamboo exclusively due to it's texture and how well the needle slides through.

[@karenbarnak8396]

Hi, love your teaching method and your video. I just found you and subscribed. Are there other videos to watch and if so, how do I find them?

[@cziogas4259]

Hi Karen, I haven't done any in a long time but will get back to videos either here on youtube or on Twitch in 2019. Just search for Kimonomomo.

[@cgriffisteach1]

C Ziogas I would love that! Planning an order now. I’m so glad I found your shop and channel from Kathleen in the Discarded Cloth fb group!

[@Mirisa499]

Thank you so much for this video!!

[@mainulislam6765]

Really love it, ma'am

[@joysmith1213]

Great instruction. I have a question. I ordered a sashiko needle and received a long and a shorter one. My problem is the tip doesn't seem as sharp as my other needles. Why would it be more dull or is it this particular one is not made correctly? Thanks so much :-)

[@Kimonomomo]

+Joy Smith If you have the Olympus needles (one long and one short) they are beginners needles and less sharp than most other brands. Loosely woven fabrics are best for these bigger needles and a sharp tip isn't necessary.

[@joysmith1213]

+Kimonomomo You're right, and I will use them then when I have a loose weave. Thanks for making it clearer for me. Enjoy your videos and have subscribed :-)

[@bonitabren1395]

looks easy

[@bbrosser694]

[@ambroulard]
