💛7 Ways to Use a Sashiko Machine💛

[@bbrosser694]

Although it's outside my budget-- I want a Sashiko machine so badly. That's why I find it comforting to watch videos and read everything about it.

[@WonderFilThreads]

They certainly are very expensive machines, but are a great investment. Hopefully you'll be able to make it a reality some day!

Put aside some money and even keep your eyes out for Baby Lock sponsored sales events, or try and find one used.

Is it safe to assume that this would be ok for stitching non-weight-bearing seams?

[@hovawart16]

I live in a small town. Where does one find a sashiko machine? Approximately how much do they cost? Do they ever go on sale? How can one sign up for sales alerts?

[@cristinejackson2772]

I love it. Where can I buy a Sashiko machine in the Los Angeles area?

[@didifriesen2147]

Where are the machines available

[@feryallrahman4890]

Inquire with Baby Lock sewing machine dealers in your area.

I wish my budget would allow to purchase this machine. I have wanted one since the first one came. Love this ideas of how to use it. Thank you for sharing.

[@WonderFilThreads]

It is indeed a very fun machine! We are glad you enjoyed the video :D

How large a quilt can you quilt on this machine?

[@bunnypep55]

So wish I could afford one of these. Gosh, my felting machine was so reasonable and this is so expensive.

[@christopherwerth1225]

Have you been able to use a 12wt thread in the machine?

[@WonderFilThreads]

Yes the 12wt works for us!

Just got my machine and have only tried straight stitching. Takes a little getting used to. Loved the video and will refer to it when I gain experience and get ready to try new things.

[@WonderFilThreads]

Yay! Glad you liked the video. Hope you have lots of fun with your new machine! :D

I just asked myself... can I use some zipper foots with this machine? If I am on sewing vacation and only want to use one machine it would be useful.

[@WonderFilThreads]

You would need to contact a babylock dealer to find out if any zipper feet are compatible with this machine. However the general all-purpose foot that comes with it is not too big, so it's possible it could still work for sewing zippers. You can give it a try!

[@lemasch01]

WonderFil Threads thank you very much! 😘 I have already contacted him but got no answer. 🤔

[@feryallrahman4890]

Not exactly the most portable machine - it is HEAVY, and big!

[@lemasch01]

@@feryallrahman4890 More lightweight than my more than 100 kg industrial sewing machine. XD

[@beckychiou1087]

😘😘😘I like this video a lots !

[@WonderFilThreads]

Thank you! Glad you like it! :D

I bought one five years ago and have a mental block about using this expensive toy. Currently I am making a baby quilt and not going to use my quilting foot opting to relearn how to thread and use my Sashiko I. Thanks for this nice video. :-)

[@WonderFilThreads]

That's so exciting! Hope you find a new reason to use your sashiko machine and your project is a success :)
