      Okay friends… I’m still struggling with my 202-WHT… So I did the Oxiclean @neph93 and it worked beautifully (almost all the stain was removed)… but then I fucked up and tried to wash it with detergent. I rubbed in a little detergent on the last of the stain but now I have detergent stains on my shirt. I’ve tried soaking in water with Baking Soda, I’m currently soaking with dish soap… Has anyone had success removing detergent stains from putting too much in on a shirt? I don’t have a washing machine at my house, just a tub. So agitation is manual, I’m not sure if this is part of the problem. I could ask a neighbor for a wash if needed. One stain to another. I’d really like to save this shirt of possible. Thanks everyone!

                    My Japan Blue Sashiko jacket got caught at some sharp edge and some threads became "loose" and created a loop (see below). I figured a short Q&A for this issue could be useful to those who could experience similar issues with e.g. their IH Sashiko shirt in the future.

                    What's the best way to fix the loose thread/loop with regard to the fact that the Sashiko fabric is seemingly weaved uniquely? My first thought was to poke a stitching needle through the middle of the loop and pulling it out on the other (inner) side... Maybe not the best solution?

                        @cityofdelusion my instinct would be much the same. I might first see if any of the loop will go back to its original place by applying gentle tension along the direction of the pull. Then I’d pull the remaining loop through to the reverse side as you suggested. Whatever you do, stay away from the scissors!

                          Sat down and made a tutorial video explaining how to fix a pulled thread / snag in (Sashiko) fabric. Hope it'll help others!

                                Probably, all the stickers we do are given out randomly with each purchase.....That's sort of part of the gig, you have no idea what you will get and they are not for sale or reservation......

                                  @Giles Damn, I might have to buy a new shirt and gamble on an octopus sticker then. It's the only logical thing to do.

                                    @RobeOfTheMagi now this is logic that makes sense. That new neon light sticker is worth £250 with a free pair of 14oz indigo/black thrown in right?

                                      is it possible to update the title of my selling thread with a reduced price? Or should i not have put it there, and only put price on the message itself? i'm an incompetent noob.

                                        I got one this week with my order of a pair of shorts. You'll just have to keep buying things until you get lucky, but they still had some as of Tuesday when my last order went out.

                                        Take the dive...

                                          @WhiskeySandwich should be able to edit it in the post. Just make sure if you have multiple posts in the thread, it’s the first one you edit.

                                          Also just looked at my own for sale post on mobile — when you hit edit, the title is at the very top and sorta doesn’t look like you can edit it, but you can if you click on it. I usually do this on my laptop and I think it’s clearer on the desktop version, but I’m outta the house at the moment.
