I actually LOVE that fabric that you have...I don't have any in my stash and most of my wash-away sashiko fabrics are large scale, which has been my complaint. I'm happy to trade you some pieces that I have for a piece of yours. That being said, for this smaller pattern, it looks like you might want to try 3 strands of your six stranded cotton instead of the full six. REducing the bulk should help...Susan Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094024834053351944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775144085133236065.post-92109933453116373752013-04-09T12:38:56.187-07:002013-04-09T12:38:56.187-07:00I've seen kits and pre-printed fabrics for sas...I've seen kits and pre-printed fabrics for sashiko, but haven't tried them. I am especially drawn to the peasant style that was used for mending and reinforcing the fabric. It's very random and definitely hand stitched.

As one reader mentioned, just use the pattern as a guide and make your stitches a little longer in the straight areas, but the curves need to have smaller stitches. You might prefer to google sashiko patterns and find one that is simpler to use on a spare piece of fabric. I found that once I got my rhythm with the stitching, it went a bit smoother and faster, but it took a while.<br />Sorry to read about your washer. I have an LG and really like it. It's already 6 years old and we've not had a problem with it. Hope you find a new one soon.<br />Today our high temperature is forecast as 0C, and it is snowing again. sigh.

My friend Shereen stitched me a flower several years ago -- the teeniest tiny of stitches -- when she would work on projects like that for too long, she would get something akin to tennis elbow and have to rest. I do love this kind of stitchwork. We have dusty, yucky weather. Enjoy the cleansing rain.
