Thread Matters in Sashiko. Some say, “It is okay to use any thread you have in Sashiko”. This statement is valid when they know the difference in Sashiko Threads – without learning the difference, when they say thread doesn’t matter as long as “thickness” is the same, then it is unfortunate that they will not experience what Sashiko is fully. (There are some who intentionally ignore “Thread Matters” to market the thread they carry – I don’t need to discuss here how wrong it is).

What was the original purpose for the Japanese who had to stitch Sashiko? Why do humans use thread? In one culture, there are millions of stories. In fact, the millions of stories makes it “Culture”.
☆
When the result of Sashiko isn’t really ideal, before you start doubting your ability, try to use our Thread. When a stitcher can control the needle well (which I do not recommend), the immediate result may look similar regardless of type of thread. However, the stitches become completely different in the process to make it more “Sashiko”. Kasane (No Knots) may not work. More importantly, the stitches will not look good when one practices Unshin with non-Sashiko thread.

I offer many stories to answer all the questions above – here on Instagram, or on Youtube (Sashiko Story Channel). You can find the video about “Why does Sashiko Thread Matter?” and “No knots in Sashiko?”. Please do not ignore the story. Please understand the difference before believing someone’s indifference. Anyone “can” do the Sashiko as we do – they just need to learn and accept that something may be missing.

2009年頃に初めてデニムに針を通してから、「デニムの全刺し」はライフワークになりました。「固いデニムに針を通すなんて（私には）無理」とか「仕立ててあるデニムに柄を全刺しするなんて（凄い）」とかお褒めの言葉を頂くこともあるのですが、指貫に委ねる運針ができるようになると、案外簡単にできたりします。次刺し子を何にしようかなぁと思っていらっしゃる方にお薦めするのがデニムだったりします。確かに時間はかかりますが、想像以上に楽しめたりすると思うのです。襤褸に繋がる継ぎはぎのデニムや、当て布だらけのデニムを刺し子デニムと呼ぶのも一つの流れでしょうが、布の補強の意味も込めてデニムの全刺しを楽しむ人が増えてくれたら嬉しいなぁと思っています。
