Olympus, Japan has designed this dot grid graphing fabric for you to use to transfer sashiko designs which aren't available as pre-printed designs. It is marked with tiny wash-away dots, 6 to an inch. Use a white or silver quilting pencil or fabric chalk pencil and a ruler to draw your design. This is a good way to get the designs you see in sashiko books on to your own fabric.
Available in 1/2 meter increments. Your order will be sent in one continuous piece. Order 1 unit for 1/2 meter (19 1/2"), 2 units for 1 meter and so on. Fabric is 42" wide. Choose size when placing your order.
This mid weight 100% cotton from Olympus is still my favourite of all the available sashiko ready to stitch pre-printed fabrics for making table linens, bags, or anything that will benefit from a fabric with a firmer hand. It is easy to pull your needle through, washes well and keeps its body.
Choose colour: Very dark blue (almost black) or navy blue
NOTE: Please don't get the fabric damp before you have finished stitching, and do not iron it before washing the print out as heat may set the markings.
