Well, this is a bit of twist here.
As I have been saying, thread does matter in the Sashiko stitching. Therefore, I strongly recommend in using the Sashiko thread for the Sashiko project in which you may spend so much time.
However, from time to time, a Sashiko project includes other stitching than Sashiko itself. In order to make a good Boro pieces, the fabric needs to be stabilized on the fabric before the actual Sashiko stitching. We can use clips, pins, heat-adhesive thread... but the most common way to stabilize the fabric is using the basing thread.
This is supreme cotton basting thread from a long-established thread company, Yokota. It is smooth and strong, yet easy to snap when the basting is no longer necessary. The basting thread to go for me.
We aren't just a Japanese craft supplier. We are a team of Sashiko professionals with more than 30 years of experience in Sashiko field. What we sell is what we use in our artworks. When we decide to not to use, it is the time to stop selling here.
We also strive for excellence in customer service. It is simply because we are happy to share what we are proud of, "Sashiko". Customers who purchase our products is a fan of Sashiko. We are happy to get to know you. We will answer questions regarding Sashiko from customers.
It is fortunate to know that I can get the best materials for Sashiko. Sashiko is pretty addictive.
