Ultimate Sashiko Sourcebook

amazing book, detailed desgins and instructions..very nice

I have been looking at Sashiko for over a year and looked at many you tube videos. This book is actually really helpful because Susan Briscoe shows you how to do the project in a continuous manner without breaking off the threads. Check her out on youtube first to understand what I mean. BUT - AND THIS IS A BIG BUT - DO NOT waste money on the Kindle version. To understand the order of stitching you need a colour copy of the book. On the kindle reader the colours of the thread DO NOT SHOW UP. So you actually lose at least half the value of the Kindle price. I discovered that the hard way :-( The paper copy of the book is on good glossy paper with good quality coloured photographs. Susan gives a tonne of patterns along with variations on themes! Really great value for money. I have a couple of other Sashiko books for similar prices. This one easily outweighs them!

I had never seen Japanese embroidery techniques and this book was very inspiring for new quilting ideas. Highly recommend if you're looking into expanding your embroidery and patterning knowledge.

This was my second book on sashiko, the first, Simply sashiko being the first (great for beginners). I was worried about repition, but there was little! These patterns are a bit more advanced but very well explained and easy to follow. I am very happy with this book

Me gustó el libro, es fácil de entender aunque no entiendas bien el inglés.

O livro está dividido pelos tipos de sashiko, portanto é bem fácil de entender os gráficos, mesmo se não entender inglês. Os projetos apresentados são muito bonitos, mas também é possível criar outras peças com os gráficos que o livro traz. A formatação para kindle é bem útil na hora de bordar usando o livro como referência.

I bought this book as I was interested to learn about Sashiko and perhaps do some myself. It is very clearly written, very informative and has great pictures showing you about stitches, projects etc. Would recommend if you are interested in Sashiko.
