I tried the thinner, but shorter, needle and it worked much better. I have finished my towel and am so loving it....thinking of how you helped make my work so enjoyable. 🌷

[@thegreenwrapper]

I’m so glad that you’ve found a solution😊💕💕💕

Another great project. The way you switch threads is not the way I have been doing it but it will be now because I like like it way better. It’s similar to how I do it in cross stitch.

[@thegreenwrapper]

Thank you💕💕 I tend to use different ways depending on the project. There’s a video how I change threads if you’re interested😊⬇️ SASHIKO This is how I change to a new thread without knots for Hanahukin and layered fabrics kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYLSfmSFf7d9ipY

A great video with excellent instructions. I'm going to order some of the Sarashi fabric and try this. BTW, where can you buy those circle things? amazon?

[@thegreenwrapper]

The circle template is from Clover. I actually got it from Japan but it seems that it’s available on Amazon too. The measurements are in centimetres only. It’s very useful for Sashiko😊

[@marijkeschellenbach2680]

My needle doesn't seem to release the stitches as easily at it looks on your video. I am using Sarashi (found on line) and using sashiko needle and thread. Any suggestions you can share with me? If I load more than five stitches it becomes really difficult.

[@thegreenwrapper]

Have you tried to stitch with a different needle? I experience the same problem sometimes with certain fabrics and it’s often about the combination of a needle and fabric. I would try with different needles and see if it makes any difference. When I stitched the pre-printed Sarashi, I broke two needles because I had to push my needle very hard, but the same needle was fine when I stitched the Sarashi I used in this video. I used a thin needle (0.84mm) from Tulip for both of them. So, even with similar fabric, a needle can behave differently…

[@marijkeschellenbach2680]

@@thegreenwrapper I did try a different needle, but from the same manufacturer. I will have to get and try with the Tulip ones. Thanks for that information and will let you know how that works.
