Thank you for watching!
In this video, I stitched Sashiko on the layers of fabric with quilt wadding between them.
I basically followed the usual Sashiko process and used the usual Sashiko tools.
So, this may be a bit different to the conventional hand quilting.

I made this project small as I had no idea if it would work or not.
I am hoping to try it again with a larger project (but not too large one yet).
As I mentioned in the video, I have no experience or knowledge in quilting.
So I don't even know if it turned out well or not, or how to tell what is good and what is a mistake.
If you have any advice for me, please leave your comment!

The batting I used was 60% wool and 40% polyester.
It was very easy to stitch but I would love to know if you have any recommendations for batting too.

The pattern I stitched is called "Masuzashi".
"Masu" is a square wooden cup used as a measuring cup (for rice, sake, etc.).
I drew five layers of squares but there are a lot of variations of this pattern.
