Thank you for watching!
I sometimes receive questions about how to stitch a running stitch with a Sashiko thimble and a Sashiko needle.
I have been enjoying Sashiko only as a hobby, so I am not an expert and I must have developed my own way of stitching. But I was also interested in finding a 'correct' way as I had seen different ways of holding a needle and moving hands.
I did my investigation and I got the impression that there is no single 'correct' way but there are some common ideas.
Again, I'm not an expert, so please also refer to books and other sources by experts!!! There are other ways to stitch than what I showed in this video as well.
This is not what you have to follow. Many people don't use a thimble when they stitch. The way you want to stitch can be different depending on your hand size and strength too. If you are used to stitch in a different way, it may be the best way for you.
If you are an absolute beginner, I think you can just start with tools you've already got.
Try different thickness and length of needles on different materials first. Depending on your project type (for example, are you stitching on a piece of tightly woven fabric or on your denim? Does your pattern include acute curves? Is your pattern large or small?), a needle you want to use may be different.
As I explained in the video, I choose my needle based on the material I stitch on and the length I feel comfortable with for the project.
I hope this video helps your stitching!

I’ve watched every sashiko video on RU-vid over the past year to learn everything I could about stitching it and yours is a definitive document! It’s easy to understand and you include the most important parts…the tools and how to use each one. Thank you! Ig

Thank you😊 I’m still learning and I want to share what I’ve learnt from my experience (my mistakes) and what I think would be useful to know when you stitch for the first time. It’s so good to hear that you found it useful😊 Thank you so much❤️

Thank you😊 I’m still learning and I try to share what I wanted to know before I stitched and what I learnt from my mistakes. Making videos helps me to try more and learn more. Thank you so much for watching and commenting always❤️ Have you stitched anything recently?

@marijkeschellenbach2680 11 месяцев назад

@@thegreenwrapper Yes, I am stitching dish towels with straight lines, working on keeping the stitches the same size. I also follow Xiaoxiao and she showed how to do those. You two are my favorite because you show how to reuse things and you are both so good at teaching. Thank you.

@thegreenwrapper 11 месяцев назад

Stitching on dish towels (called Hanafukin in Japanese) is very popular in Japan too. It’s so nice to watch many people enjoying Sashiko on RU-vid😊

This has been the best video I’ve seen so far on the unshin needle handling! You may characterize yourself as a beginner, but this instruction is nonpareil! Thanks for making my own beginner’s journey and life more wonderful.

Great tutorial and really clear instructions ❤. I feel a lot more confident to use my palm thimble ... and not stab myself!! 😅

@thegreenwrapper 11 месяцев назад

Thank you❤️ Sashiko doesn’t have strict rules so you can stitch in your way but I wanted share the basic ideas for using a Sashiko thimble and different needles for different projects…because I’ve also stabbed myself so many times😅

おはようございます。今回もとても刺激になる動画でした。有難うございます。針の長さによって、添える指を変えるというのは、知りませんでした。「刺し子にルールはない」と良く言われますが、それでもやはりガイドは欲しい訳で、とても分かりやすかったです。実は私、運針下手です(^_^;)理由はアレコレありますが、ここらで本気でマスターしたいですね〜。UP主様は勉強中と仰ってますが、とてもお上手ですよ(^^) 以前お話して下さった吉田英子さんの本、実は古書で見付けて、内容がとても良かったので買いました。UP主様がお持ちだと仰っていた本とは違うかもですが、作りたいと思う作品が沢山で(*^^*)教えて下さって有難うございました。練習あるのみですね。作品を作りながら、運針頑張りたいと思います♪

@thegreenwrapper Год назад

もう見てくださったなんて、ありがとうございます！針によって指を変えているのは「私個人の場合」なのですが、最初に覚えた中指と親指で持つ方法で長いことあまり疑問も持たずにやってきて、中指を紙で切ってしまったときに人差し指を使い始めたら長針が刺しやすいことに気がついたんです。興味をもって調べたら、人差し指で持つ方も結構いらっしゃって、針の持ち方、運針の仕方って人によってさまざまなんだなぁと改めて知り、勉強になりました。吉田英子さんの著作、まだ手に入るんですね！私は3冊持っていて、どれも愛読しています。いちばんのお気に入りは『刺し子百葉』で、刺し子や木綿の歴史も学べて読み物として教科書のように読んでいます。吉田英子さんは刺繍糸も使われているようですし、自由でモダンな刺し子でとても魅力的に感じます。今まで誰にも見られることなく刺してきたので、運針も自分に合うやり方でやってきただけで、全然自信ないので、この動画も1カ月以上前に作り始めたのに、悩みに悩んでなかなか公開に至りませんでした😅でも、ほんとうに初めて刺し子の運針を見たという方も多いので、意を決して… お気づきになったかわかりませんがチューリップの針も使いましたよ！すごく刺し心地が滑らかで、刺し子だけじゃなくて縫い針としても使いたい針で感動しました！教えてくださってありがとうございます😊

@@thegreenwrapper お返事有難うございます♪ 日本人なら当たり前と思われがちですが、今の現実はそうでもなくて、今回の動画、私個人は多くの日本在住の日本人にも広く通用すると思いました。私はとても勉強になりましたよ(^^)UPして下さって有難うございます。吉田さんの本…その百葉だけはまだお高くて入手出来ていません。元々がボリュームのある本だと思いますが(昭和50年代であの価格は結構お高い本だったんでしょうね)今はプラス1000円くらいで売られてます。あ…メルカリですが（汗）Amazonならもう少しお安く手に入るかな…とか思いながら、その出品を待ってるところです。「刺し子」という本の中に、今で言うエコバッグでしょうね。風呂敷をバッグ状にする作品がありましたが、先ずはそれから作ってみたいなーと(^^)　作った事ありますか？吉田さんの略歴(？)も拝読しましたが、フランス刺繍もされていたんですね。同じくモダンだなーとの感想です。それでいて生活の一部として取り入れてらっしゃって、素敵だと思いました。これは作らねば…生地ならあるし(*^^*) チューリップさん、気付いてましたよ(^^)しかも同じ細番手!使い易いと仰って下さって嬉しく思います。オリンパスさんより少し短いですが(^_^;)でも私も他の専用針も使ってみたいと思いました。動画の中に登場する他のメーカーさんの針も、ひじょーうに気になりました。使いやすそうですね♪ 海外の方が仰ってましたが、私も誰より勉強になると思いましたし、greenwrapperさんの動画、いつも楽しみにしております(*^^*)翻訳もGoogleではないですよね。有難いなぁと。毎度長くなってスミマセン(^_^;)

わたしも『刺し子』持ってます！でもいずれも絶版で古書のみなんですね。わたしも昔、古本屋さんで見つけて買ったのですが、高かった記憶はありません😅　再版して欲しい内容ですよね。実は日本語の翻訳は自動翻訳のみです。日本には見惚れてしまうようなレベルの高い刺し子動画が沢山あるのと、このチャンネルの場合、道具やお繕いなど、どうしても内容が海外向けになってしまうので、日本のニーズとは乖離しているかなぁと、自信がなく。日本語字幕、いずれは自分で付けたいです。

Thank you for your informative video, you explained everything well😊What kind of pen do you use for drawing the lines?

@thegreenwrapper 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for the question! In this video, I used a heat-erasable marker which is called White Marking Pen from Clover. However, they are not perfect and I use different types of markers depending on the fabric or the project I have. Here’s a video I talked about different options: Which fabric marker should I use for drawing Sashiko patterns?

@CraigsOverijse 8 месяцев назад

one issue I am finding that the few longer needles I have brought are not so sharp as the smaller ones so they would for example be good on heavy fabric as you show but I can not find a longer needle that seems to work so well on thinner fabric with a tighter weave. What should I be looking for please? What thickness of needle will I need to buy that is both long but will work on thinner fabrics? I am in Japan right now so finding them is not so difficult but knowing which is right dimensions is hard.

@thegreenwrapper 8 месяцев назад

Sashiko needles are generally sharp but I have also found that some are good for thicker fabrics and some are good for thinner fabrics. I use a thin Sashiko needle （細番手）from Tulip for thinner fabrics such as Sarashi. They are super sharp so you need to be careful not to stab yourself😅 They sell thick ones and thin ones in almost identical boxes. I use the 0.84mm needle. Here’s the link to the manufacturer. www.tulip-japan.com/?pid=147286766 I believe that there were no Sashiko-specific needles and threads at first, but longer and thicker needles were handy for stitching thick layers together. So, I think the best way is to choose the best thread and needle for your fabric. The book which I learned Sashiko from (Sashiko Hyakuyo by Eiko Yoshida 1981) also says ‘the most important thing is that the final product is nice and neat. (…) There are no rules about what type of a needle you absolutely have to use, so I’d recommend using a needle which is the most comfortable for you to stitch”. (Sorry about my poor translation…)
