A pre-printed sashiko panel is a fabric piece designed for sashiko embroidery, a traditional Japanese stitching technique characterized by its simple running stitches used to create intricate patterns and designs.
With a pre-printed sashiko panel, the pattern is printed directly onto the fabric, which guides you as the embroiderer in placing the stitches accurately.
A major feature of pre-printed sashiko panels is that the stitch lengths are also pre-printed. This means that the lines on the fabric indicate not only where to stitch but also how long each stitch should be. This feature is particularly helpful for beginners or those looking for uniformity in their work, as it provides a visual guideline that simplifies the stitching process. These panels can be used to create striking decorative items like table runners, wall hangings, or patches for clothing, combining traditional artistry with modern convenience.
