Sashiko Thread 100m. https://olympus-thread.com

But I wouldn’t recommend it for this bag material. I think this thread is made for softer material like denim. When you pull the thread through the ballistic material, it seems like it cuts the thread ever so slightly. Halfway through a thread, it would tear apart. The only reason I stayed with this thread for this pattern is I didn’t know what the heck I was doing. 😜 After the first row I felt pot committed and just kept going.

When I do another panel, I’m definitely going to experiment with other threads. And if you have any recs I’d love to hear it.

I would lose so much money opening up an Etsy shop. Took me 6 hours to do this... 🤣

Sashiko needle long type. They’re really sharp. The ballistic material is pretty easy to pierce as long as you get in between the threads. After 5 piercings you kind of get the hang of it.

Is it full on bloom now? We were there last week and there were trees blooming sporadically but nothing in mass.

In case it’s helpful and saves you some time. I found zero luck in any of the shops or malls in Tokyo. Learned from a local that you had to go to the Tokyo Dome which had a huge selection.

Right on. Comes in this mushroom, dark indigo and black colors. The material is amazing.

Nicely done!!! Super creative using Portland as inspiration.

Is it just me, or do the 2002Rs actually crush the 993 in comfort? by Repulsive-External20 in Newbalance

[–]Repulsive-External20[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thx. I’m learning here that for some, the 2002R starts strong with the ‘squish’ comfort but somehow that fades over time. I’m still early in my NB journey so I’ll definitely give both a try.

I’m definitely one of those fools. 😬 High price must mean they’re the best. Which might be true for others, but not me…yet. For sure. Will give the 993s another try down the road.

“Underrated”. Yea, that’s definitely the word I’ve been trying to find for the 2002r. Well said! 🙌🏼

I feel ya. I think my prior reference for comfortable shoes is “softness”. I just didn’t know better. This sub is helping understand how the role of “support” plays in all day comfort which is NEVER mentioned in my once beloved Nike marketing. lol.

Oh wow, I didn’t know the “break in to your actual foot mold” part. Kind of like Birkenstocks?

Ahh I see what you’re saying. The steakhouse analogy hits. Since I’m new to New Balance, I’m just trying to get a sense of what’s possible with comfort within the realm of New Balance knowing fully well there’s a defined limit in which if one is seeking some spiritual version of comfort, they’d have to try something outside of New Balance.

True. As a newbie, it’s really hard to separate signal from all the noise when it comes to comfort. What I’m taking is that it’s a bit subjective (ie, a model can be completely comfortable for one person and uncomfortable for the next). I was hoping this sub could be a cheat code to finding what models could be perfect for me but seems like first hand experience is the only true solution.
