Sashiko embroidery is one of my favorite crafts. Its easy to master and

the process is very meditative and relaxing. Although the patterns can
look dif cult, they are just a matter of breaking down the whole into
linear parts. Mari
THE MATERIALS
There are four key materials to sashiko needle, thread, thimble and
fabric. As youll see, no embroidery hoop is necessary, which makes
sashiko a very portable craft.
NEEDLES

middle modern sashiko needle
right 1mm embroidery needle
Traditional sashiko needles are very long (about 2 inches) with a small
eye. The width of the needle is uniform all the way to the top. Modern
sashiko needles have a larger eye so the needle can be more easily
threaded. In the photo, I included the largest embroidery needle in my

slippers/)
threaded. In the photo, I included the largest embroidery needle in my

collection, a 1mm width needle to show the difference between the
needles. As youll see below, a long needle is necessary to the sashiko
embroidery technique.
THREAD

middle embroidery oss
(http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/item/8232-DMCEmbroidery-Floss)
right Pearl Cotton Embroidery Thread
(http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/item/8453-DMC-PearlCotton-Embroidery-Thread-8)
Sashiko thread is more twisted than embroidery oss and not made to
be separated into strands. Sashiko thread doesnt have a sheen as
embroidery oss or the Valdani embroidery thread have. Either thread
could be used a substitute for sashiko thread but the look will be slightly
different.
THIMBLE
This is a traditional sashiko thimble that is used to push the needle

through the cloth. We have a similar thimble made of leather which you
can nd here (http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/item/3745).
FABRIC
The ideal fabric for sashiko embroidery is one that is not too tightly
woven, such as Robert Kaufmans Essex fabric
(http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/item/3539-Robert-KaufmanEssex), which is a linen/cotton blend. Because sashiko thread is so thick,
a fabric that is too tightly woven will show puckering or the holes quite
easily.
THE TECHNIQUE
To begin your project, cut a piece a thread that will be long enough to go
from one end of the section you are working on to the other end.
Create a quilters knot by wrapping the thread around the needle twice
and pulling it through.
Next, take your fabric and insert the needle through the fabric without
pulling the thread through. The proportion of the sashiko stitch is
about 3:2, with the longer stitch on the right side of the fabric. Continue
running the needle through the fabric without pulling the thread
through until you have multiple stitches on the needle.
After you have several stitches on the needle, whatever number you are
comfortable with, push the needle through the fabric and pull the
thread all the way through. Use the sashiko thimble to push the needle
through the fabric.
Pull the fabric taut to ensure there is no puckering. Continue until you
have reached the end of the row and tie another quilters knot, leaving
some slack at the end to compensate for any puckering.
If you are doing a pattern with any change in direction or angles, leave a
little loop at each point on the wrong side of the fabric, again for
puckering.
WATER SURFACE KIT

The sashiko patterns
(http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/24-embroidery-sashikosamplers) we have all have easy to follow instructionswhich have the

stitches printed on the fabric in washable ink. I chose the traditional
sashiko kit water surface to show how to do a pattern from beginning
to end. I paired the kit with the Cobalt Blue Sashiko Thread (#10)
(http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/item/6676-OlympusSashiko-Thread-). The fabric has a second side that could be used to
cover up the wrong side of the embroidery in a pillow or handkerchief.
Before beginning the embroidery, decide how to do the pattern.

Typically, the horizontal and vertical lines are done rst (except for the
outside lines). Next, the diagonal lines are stitched. Finally the
remaining shapes are embroidered. Since this pattern does not have
any horizontal or vertical lines, start with the diagonal lines, from one
end to the other.
When the rst line is nished, start with the next line, but start in the
opposite direction to avoid any puckering or skewing of the fabric.
Make sure you have enough thread on the needle to get from one end
of the pattern to the other, to avoid having any knots in the middle of
the fabric.
After completing all of the diagonal lines, the gures remaining create a
diamond pattern. To do this part of the pattern, start at the top, then
follow the arrows around the pattern back to the top.
This is how the diamond pattern looks when completed. Work your way
from one side of the fabric to the other, just as you did the diagonal
lines. Finally, embroider the outside lines. The ink of the pattern will
come out easily in a cold water hand wash with a little agitation. Your
sashiko sample is complete!

back of the piece? My stitches in the back are much smaller than the
front. Thanks for your help

but as you get more practice they might even out a bit.

Yes. You can do this on a sewing machine with invisible thread on

the top and coloured thread in the bottom. There is a special
stitch on modern machines and a little experimenting with
tension

Hi JeanetteYou cannot do this stitch on a sewing machine. But it is fun and easy
to do by hand.
Thank you!

Carrie says:
Wonderfully clear pictures and descriptions. Thank you. Someone

gave me a piece of what I now realise is a kit. However, the only
thread I have to hand is DMC stranded cotton. Will this work and
how many strands should I use?

Hi CarrieYes, you can use the DMC embroidery oss. You can use all 6
strands. Please see the section of this story called "Thread" for more
info.
Thank you!

Judy says:
Jeanette, Babylock company makes a Sashiko sewing machine.. The

reviews I read indicate that the Sashiko II version is better. This is a
single purpose machine which costs several thousand dollars.
Ann says:
Babylock does make a single purpose Sashiko II machine that has

adjustable stitch length and stitch distance. I have one and love it.
Using a pre-printed pattern would be great so the adjustments
could be made to t the printed stitches. I paid less than $2,000 for
a new model at my local Babylock dealer in town. I'm glad I stumbled
upon this website so I can look at getting the pre-printed patterns!

Susan says:
What is the best way to tie off the sashiko thread. I couldn't nd it in
your tutorial. Apologies if I missed it,
Thank you
purl bee says:

Hi SusanYou can nish it in one of 2 ways. Once you're towards the end of
your length of thread you can weave the tail through the back of
some of the stitches and then snip it without tying a knot. Or you
can tie a french knot at the end if you want to make sure it's ultra
secure. Here's a short explanation of a French Knot:

Great tutorial, do you need to stabilize the fabric before you start
stitching, is so , what do you recommend? Thanks Vicki
Lian says:
I bought my rst sashiko kit to sew a pre-printed pattern to make a

table-mat. There's a fold in the fabric and I'm wondering if I should
be embroidering through just 1 layer or through both fabric layers?
purl bee says:

Hi LianIt should be just through one layer of fabric.

Thank you!
Molly
purl bee says:

HI VickiNo need to use stabilizer, just follow the instructions as given above
and you should be in business!

What would be the best way to go about using a sashiko pattern on

bottom layer as well or just the top layer?

April 16, 2015 (http://www.purlsoho.com/create/2008/01/19/sashiko/comment-page1/#comment-68190)
Hi BarclayYou can stitch through all three layers (top, batting, and
backing)! It sounds like a beautiful project!
Thanks you!

Barclay says:
Perfect! Ive been wanting to try out hand quilting. Do you

have any suggestions for making a pattern and transferring
that will be large enough for a quilt? Im a little stumped on
how to get the lines so nice without a pre-printed pattern
Jake from the Purl Bee says:

Hey Barclay,
Thank you for the comment! If you are doing a simple
design you draw it free hand right onto the quilt with a
fabric marker. You can browse all of those options on our
website here;

Ive used two layers, usually cotton, with the cotton batting
between, its not too thick, and quilts easily with Sashiko
stitching. Its one of my favorite ways to make a lap quilt.
Alix says:
I am excited to try this, and glad to see you have all the materials in
one place. If I do this kind of stitching on a quilt square, will it hold up
to being washed a couple times a year? Thanks for a very clear and
helpful tutorial.

May 12, 2015 (http://www.purlsoho.com/create/2008/01/19/sashiko/comment-page1/#comment-70876)
Hey Alix,
Thank you for the comment! I actually have not tried quilting
with the Sashiko squares before! I would recommend prewashing the fabric before you do the stitching. Then after doing
the embroidery I would do another gentle hand-wash before
attaching the square to the quilt top to make sure you dont have
any extra shrinking. It also might be a good idea to try using the
Sashiko thread on a piece of scrap fabric that is a similar weight
to the fabric your ultimately using for the quilt to see how it will
react!
I hope this helps and Id love to hear how this turns out!
Good Luck!

Hi Barbara,
Thank you for the comment! Traditionally this technique does
not use a hoop however you are more than welcome to try it. It
might actually be a little more dif cult with a hoop since it is
done with a running stitching!
I hope this helps and feel free to write back if you have anymore

myself why I have never tried it. No matter though, I am going to

Does the sashiko stitch only look good on solid fabrics? I made a

Hello Linn,
Sashiko, while being decorative and beautiful, is also intended as
a hand-quilting technique. The stitches will be most visible on a
solid background, but still absolutely functional and applicable
for printed fabrics.
Happy stitching! -Alyson

I have read the following instructions for sashiko stitching on a

regular machine:
12 wt. cotton thread on top
medium weight such as 40wt in bobbin
use light color bobbin for light fabric or dark color bobbin for dark
fabric
116 topstitching needle for machine sewing
olivia says:
Hello! I just ordered some of your supplies for a Sashiko sampler. As

I look over the tutorial you say to do the diagonal lines rst. When
you nish one line do you carry the thread across the back or do you
start a new length of thread? Does that question make sense? I want
to make sure I do it right so I dont run out of thread but also have it
look nice. Thank you!
Alyson from the Purl Bee says:

Hello Olivia!
If you are planning to frame your sampler or hide the back of the
work in some way, I would say dont worry about carrying the
thread across the back of the work. If you are making large oats
of thread on the back of the work, I would make sure to get an
extra skein of thread. If you want to make use of what youve
already purchased, I would be more frugal with the oats in the
already purchased, I would be more frugal with the oats in the

back of the work and only use that technique for lines that are
worked closely on the pattern.
I hope this helps and happy stitching! -Alyson

Can these gorgeous patterns be used for small placemats? Perhaps

using felt as the wadding? They are truly beautiful!!
Kumeko from the Purl Bee says:

December 7, 2015 (http://www.purlsoho.com/create/2008/01/19/sashiko/comment-page1/#comment-88986)
Hello, Jane!
Thank you for writing in! These patterns are all 13x13, so they
could de natly be used as small placemats. You can use felt as
the wadding, but only if you are going to be handwashing and
drying the placemats. If you are going to be machine washing
them, then I recommend using a thin cotton batting because the
cotton batting will shrink in a similar fashion to the cotton fabric.
Wool felt tends to shrink a bit more than cotton when aggitated
so felt wadding might distort your beautiful stitches a little. I
hope this helps! If you have further questions, please let us
know!
Happy crafting!
Best wishes,
Kumeko

Hello Dawn,
Thanks for writing in! I do believe that you have the tools to do a
Sashiko pattern and you can nd Sashiko patterns on cotton
here (http://www.purlsoho.com/patterns/embroidery/sashikosamplers.html). If youd like to do a Sashiko pattern on your royal
blue fabric, you can use a chalk pencil
(http://www.purlsoho.com/chalk-pencils.html) to draw a pattern
directly on to your fabric. However, it is just easier to buy the
pre-marked fabric. Good luck on your project!
Best,
Adam
