Description“Sashiko” means “little stabs” and is a traditional Japanese embroidery style which dates back to the edo period. It is a practical and beautiful style perfect for embroidery projects, mending and quilting.The panel is pre-stencilled with 5 different designs. The pre-stencilling eliminates the need to mark the fabric before starting to sashiko stitch. All the pre-stencilled markings wash off in tepid water when complete and each panel comes with a stitching guide and tips. The panels are printed on 100% cotton indigo fabric. DO NOT prewash before stitching.Stitch using Sashiko thread, you can use all one colour or vary the colours across the different designs. Use the completed panel to make the 5 coasters as explained in the instructions, or incorporate it in a sewing project or quilting project.
