Do you need a Baby Lock Sashiko Machine?

[l.baughman]

Yes. All need one. Quilting that makes it seem like hand quilting. Can handle layers. No clear thread “looks like running stitch”. Those stitches hold up in the laundry!! Also, I have arthritis so it saves my hands. The engineer who invented it wanted his wife to be able to continue Sashiko hobby even through her arthritis.

So glad to see that I’m not the only one with an unused new machine. It was so intimidating for some reason but not anymore thanks to your excellent demonstrations. Will get those unfinished table runners finished now! Thank you.

I just got my sashiko machine yesterday, for my birthday 🎉😊

[helenpeddycord]

Finally! A great demo, instruction and description of exactly what a Sashiko machine does and how it works!
I do love the nice hand quilted images it produces and the options of variable lengths! WOW! The fact it only uses one thread, is amazing! How in the world does that work?! Had NO idea😂😂
Thank you for a great insight on this phenomenal machine Carolina!💕🧵

Carolina - I’ve thought about this machine since the first one but have decided that I just don’t need another machine (I love my BabyLock Presto I already have around 29 machines - many of which are wonderful vintage Singer machines from 1926 to about 1960 (Rocketeer). But - this is a wonderful video for showing how this machine really works!!! And I’m still “thinking)!😄😄😄

I just found your videos and must thank you for the Sashiko vid’s. I had decided to sell my Sashiko 2, which I’ve used to make exactly one doll sized quilt — several years ago. I think I’ll get it back out and use it instead of the walking foot on my next quilt. Thank you!

Fascinating!! I had no idea how this type of machine works. You explained it beautifully. Your quilt is going to be perfect for Valentine’s Day❤️ Great demo, Carolina. You are fun to watch!

Mine has never been out of the box but I want to use it! I never could get it threaded. I felt so stupid in the class after I purchased I'm anxious to try again when you show us later.

[carolynhack]

This is inspiring me to use my machine. I'll start with something small like a table runner or tiny quilt. I can't hand or free motion quilt so ready to try this!

[janetparker]

Best demo of this machine I've seen. Thanks

[dianeschwalm]

I just purchased my BL Sashiko. I’m so excited! Watching ALL of your videos!

[AmyThomas]

Thank you so much for explaining this awesome machine. I am a newbie, but really love the look. Something to definitely work up to. I really enjoyed your videos.

[carolynhack]

I love the look this machine gives a quilt

[dher]

I love this machine. Didn't even know it existed! Thank you for the demo. Another machine I'm gonna have to budget to buy.

[Oscar-mm]

I don't need one but I want one. I can't afford one, but if I ever win or receive some money. I will definitely buy one.

[notjustnat]

Thanks so much for a great video. I have a question for you. How fast can Sashiko machine go? Thanks 🙏🏼

[QuiltJoy]

I love this look. My Janome CM17 does this stitch, the 3/1 stitch that you mentioned.

[l.baughman]

Also sewing hems (real sewing) and getting a lovely stitch visible.

[sevenandthelittlestmew]

Wow. I’ve never seen this machine, and I loved the demo. So, how do you work the curves (for the hearts)? Do you drop the feed dogs and use a FMQ foot, or does the machine even have feed dogs? It looks like it must, to feed the quilt through… I’d love a little explanation, or even a short video showing how you do the curved stitching. So pretty, though, and cool that others have said it has a variable stitch length.
Also: the mechanics of this machine just please me. The engineering is too cool! It’s a marvel to watch up close.

I have actually done piecing with mine so the entire project was on the Sashiko. But yeah. I typically piece on my regular machines.
