It was used by the Japanese to strengthen fabric in the beginning and translated to what it is today. I'm working on some now but don't know when I will be finished. I will post when I get it done, but that could be a while.

I took a class where we made a quilt. The blocks with sashiko stitching had a thin layer of Thermor (sp) underneath and we stitched thru both layers which kept the block stable. Then the entire quilt had Warm & Natural.

I used this in a quilt for my mother. I got the designs from http//the embroiderylibrary.com
They even have a tutorial on that sight listed under Projects.
I was very pleased with the results.
