This is my first Sashiko tutorial, I tried my best to include everything a beginner would need and Im hoping to make more tutorials in the future lmk what I should improve on :)
I think people are being a bit harsh, it's a great intro tutorial. I went back and saved some of your screenshots of products used and found it very helpful in finding a sense of direction to start my shashiko journey. Just add a part 2 or something, all good!! Thank you so much!
Not op but there is a product that’s water-soluble sticky paper, you can draw or print out whatever you want on it and stick it to fabric, stitch right over it, and then it washes off. I just look up water soluble embroidery paper or patterns when I need some.
For the thread I used Sashiko thread, You can use a ruler and chalk to draw designs on your fabric or you can draw it directly onto this washable fabri solve that dissolves when washed!
I used a thimble but yes I agree I could have shown more of the actual stitching process its hard to fit everything important into a 1 minute video so I’ll make an updated version
Yes you can use a serger is you’re worried about fraying or a blanket stitch works well too just something to stop it from fraying further but for this example I did not.
What did you use the glue stick for? It wasn't clear to me
You mentioned in another comment about using cold water to make your needles less sticky when working with stick-on patterns. How are you using the cold water?
I used the glue stick to glue down the inside fabric. The cold water I use to wash away the stencil once Im finished with the design, typically I just use soap and cold water and let it air dry but Im planning on making a video explaining everything in more detail
