Useful tips for tracing a Sashiko pattern using a light panel to achieve the best result!

Thank you for watching!
In this video, I will trace a Sashiko pattern using a light panel which I purchased recently.
Although I don't have much experience in tracing patterns, I have drawn Sashiko patterns so many times before. So I will adapt some of the drawing tips to tracing.
If you don't have a paper pattern, you can draw a triangle grid instead and stitch along the grid to create the same pattern.
Here's the tutorial video for the triangle grid:

I am so in awe of all your talents, creating the patterns, sewing them and coming up with the many ideas to help make it easier! I went to visit my sister for a week and got her into watching you so she could learn Sashiko.

Thank you😊 It’s so lovely to hear that you visited your sister! I hope she likes Sashiko too💕 Have a nice weekend❤️❤️😊

Love your comment about a center placement! As when scaling a pattern for a piece so important

[@thegreenwrapper]

Oh thank you!!😊❤️🪡🧵

How spooky - I bought a light box panel this week and traced a pattern onto fabric :) great minds think alike!

[@thegreenwrapper]

Oh it’s super spooky and exciting!!😂❤️💕🪡🧵

This is really interesting. Thank you!

I suggest you look into a product called Freezer Paper. You can print on it directly with your home printer and then temporarily fuse it to your fabric to stabilize the fabric during the tracing process. I don't know if it's available in Canada, but it's common in grocery stores in the US and very inexpensive. The KZbin channel called Just Get It Done Quilts has a video called Freezer Paper Magic that explains how it's used very well. It's commonly used in quilting , applique, and embroidery, but I think would be equally useful for a Sashiko stitcher.

That’s fantastic! I love the idea💕💕💕 Thanks for sharing it🥰

That looks very smart, and a lot easier than plotting out the whole grid from scratch. I wonder if there are any equally simple ways to plot darker fabrics? There are soluble papers that can be used for that, I guess, but they seem a lot more wasteful, whereas the templates you used here are reusable.

[@penlennon3576]

you could use chaco paper between your template and dark fabric and you will get the design in chalk. I find chaco paper lines last longer than chalk pencils.

Thank you! I don’t know if you’ve watched this video before⬇️ but I tried some water-soluble adhesive interfacing on denim. Denim jacket refashion with Sashiko - DIY Thrift flip clothes - from planning to stitching!l kzbin.info/www/bejne/j33Ik6NsfsmYl9E I struggled a lot as the glue was stitching on the needle. I’ve been wondering if I could use some water soluble interfacing but not the adhesive one. The challenge could be how to fix the interfacing on fabric properly for the best result…🤔 There are printable ones too, so it could save a lot of time too.

@@penlennon3576 that’s useful to know

[@creepycutiecrafty]

@@thegreenwrapper that’s a good idea. I’ve used some fabrics that have adhesive, and like you say, they gum up the needle as you sew, so it’s not an ideal solution. Maybe using a mini projector to project the pattern onto the fabric could be a solution. There are some small projectors that use images from mobile phones. 🤔🤔🤔

Boa noite!!! Meu nome é Rosany e estou aprendendo muito sashiko com você!!! Adoro seus vídeos!!! Também sei desenhar e isso facilita muito. É um novo hábito que peguei. Na realidade só penso em sashico. Muito obrigada

[@thegreenwrapper]

Hi Rosany💕 Thank you so much. I’m also still learning Sashiko and enjoying a lot❤️ I hope the information on this channel helps you enjoy Sashiko😊

Do you kits or books available for a beginner in this process?

[@thegreenwrapper]

There may be but I don’t know…that’s why I had to come up with this method😅 I think people used to use a Hera to trace the lines.

[@jennymarcel7265]

Where did you buy It? Do you have the link? Thanks

[@thegreenwrapper]

Hi, I bought the light panel from Amazon Australia. The brand name is TOHETO. As this is my very first light panel, I’m not sure if it’s a good one or not😅 Personally, I’d prefer it to be larger and a little brighter. It’s rechargeable and can be used wireless.

[@laetitia7384]

Probably it could be tried on a window...but not practical at all 😅

[@thegreenwrapper]

Oh…I’m also tempted to draw some patten on my window😂
