Very basic Sashiko stitching tips you should know -Introduction to Sashiko for beginners Part 3

Thank you for watching!

In this video, I will explain some basic tips for Sashiko. They are not strict rules but commonly used to make the stitches neat and pretty.

Even if you don’t follow them, your Sashiko is still Sashiko.
Sashiko has been handed down from generation to generation within households or small communities over handreds of years, so it’s hard to find universal rules.

These tips I explained here are mostly how I learned and what I’m generally following. Having some tips really helped my Sashiko journey. If you are a Sashiko beginner, I believe these tips will be very helpful for you too!

Please note that there are a few different methods for Sashiko and the tips I will explain in the video are for the Moyozashi method. With Moyozashi, you would draw a pattern on your fabric first and stitch along it. Other methods such as Hitomezashi would follow different principles.
