Youngmin says, “I use various kinds of natural fiber threads: 50-weight cotton and 50-weight silk threads are durable and versatile to use for hand piecing and finishing bojagi. A long, sharp, and small-eyed needle is my favorite since it doesn’t leave puncture marks on a fine and sheer fabric.”

Youngmin is a textile artist in the San Francisco Bay Area. She teaches Korean traditional stitching art. YoungminLee.com
