Content:
– How to mark up Moyozashi sashiko embroidery patterns using a variety of different techniques
– How to use and keep Japanese sashiko thread without it getting tangled
– How to tie the quilters knot
– How to tie an end knot that sits very close to where the thread leaves the fabric on the back
– How to stitch neatly in the style of Sashiko
– The rules of Moyozashi sashiko for intersecting lines, ‘T’ junctions and corners
– NOTE: 5 different Sashiko patterns are included with the class.

What do I need to provide myself?

A Sashiko or embroidery needle
Sashiko or embroidery thread
Small pair of sharp scissors
A ruler (ideally a quilting ruler)
A sheet of fine sandpaper
A circle template (the lid of a vitamin pills bottle is ideal)
An erasable fabric marker pen
Masking tape
Something to draw your large circle with (I use a side plate).
Optional - If you have a cutting mat, that is very helpful for marking up although it is fine to draw up the patterns without one
Optional - Some people like to use a thimble and/or a needle threader when sewing. Please have these handy if you have them and like to use them
