Shashiko wouldn’t “hide the knot”. You would leave thread open and run in two directions back and forth over same line to create lock. Also Shashiko employ multiple (3-4) runs through the fabric before pulling the needle. Also you don’t push the needle you pull and push the fabric to get needle through.
This video is mislabled and does not show sashiko but a single stab stitch at a time. Sashiko is a running stitch where the fabric is gathered onto the needle then the needle is pushed through with a specific type of thimble. And yes, traditional sashiko can and is done through several layers.
Nicely produced video - but you're missing important point about running stitch: Sashiko needles are very long so you can do multiple stitches at once - this makes them neater and more "in a line", as well as faster to stitch.
Loved the close-ups of how this stitch is done and what it looks like. Yes, we'd all like to know the weight of the Aurifil thread and where one can buy that type of needle threader (the first I've seen of that kind). I'm assuming it would be in the same area as embroidery thread, but not necessarily in my local quilt shop or craft store.
Quilting videos attract some very talented, experienced craftspeople. Sadly this video is more about the presenter, beginner sewing tips and very little about the Japanese art of Sashiko. Too much talking and not enough Sashiko.
I love the look of sashiko...or big stitch...quilting! Thanks for the tip about using embroidery floss... What weight was the Aurifil thread you used? Great video...
Iv'e like you ever since I saw you on TV many moons' ago. What are you drawing with a pencil? I like the worked my hand look not the new machines that make this stich
Wow. You should have researched Sashiko. It is a utilitarian stitch and I am positive that the Japanese would not refer to it as darling. Your demonstration was not even close to correct. You may want to research this ancient stitch and do a new video.
I agree with the comments that this is not Sashiko at all. It is nothing more than a running stitch used in regular quilting. This video should be taken down as it will cause people to do this and tell everyone they know how to do Sashiko.
If the video wasn't front and back loaded with sponsored ads, there would be more time to explain what sashiko is and how to do it properly. Very poorly done.
Kantha stiches and Sashiko stitches reference 2 WILDLY different cultures. They are not interchangeable. Each has their own history and significance. Please research more before you talk about other cultures.

If you want to skip the commercials, the actual content of the video begins at 0:54 .
Thank you!
We *heart* Mary! Love this project as a start to hand quilting. I like how Mary uses pretty colors here. Doesn't have to just be white thread. :)

Is this sashiko ?
This is just hand quilting
I agree. Sadly, it's just hand stitching. 🙁
1st Sashiko is never knotted. Indeed she is correct to call it “Sashiko look”.
$2,700 sashiko Babylock does one stitch only.
Posso fazer o quilting antes de colocar o forro?
não.
Sashiko is pronounce with 2 syllables. Sash-ko.

Shameful and not Sashiko. Low budget ad.
Y'all have got to learn to stop loading videos up with opening credits to sponsors.
Sashiko is Japanese.....Kantha is Indian..... about the only thing they have in common is the fact that they both use running stitches.
Not true at all.Sashiko is the Japanese version of Kantha.Buddhists[the Buddha was Indian] took the method of Kantha[ Make do and Mend] to Japan.
There are no knots to tie off sashiko stitching
start at 6 minutes in to actually see some stitching

What type of fabric, batting, lining? You didn’t explain the fabrics...not very impressed with this video...
Seen enough? You threaded a needle, tied a knot and made 1 stitch! I don't know much about sashiko but I know this us not it!
a very simple stitch has been made more difficult by these sewers..theyr awful commentators.
I am sure you mean well, but you have to do homework… there’s a history lesson you are missing.
Інформації НОЛЬ, за все відео нитку в голку заправила! Жах!
She is awful at presenting
