I just got my new Sashiko machine today! I haven’t had time yet to try it out yet, hopefully tomorrow!! You’ve totally inspired me to get one and go for it. I have done a few quilts and have done free motion quilting. Plus straight stitch quilting which I love, so sashiko should be so fun. And fast! Thank you for taking time to do these vids.

Thanks! I really love the machine. And while threading it is very different than a standard machine, I found it wasn't too tricky if I took it slow and followed the instructions. After doing it several times, I was pretty quick at it and only need my cheat sheet if it has been a while between uses. 🥰

Thank you for all the videos. I quilted my first quilt on the Sashiko. The thread on the back would loop often and breaking. I have the SL and SS at 3.5. I don’t know what I am doing wrong. Right now I have a love and hate relationship with this machine. I just need to figure out what I am doing wrong.

Hi! I'm so sorry you're having trouble. I'd start with a freshly wound bobbin with different thread. Make sure the bobbin is wound smoothly. Follow the steps to make sure that you're inserting the bobbin correctly. There are several steps, and you want to make sure the thread has wound through all the places it needs to. Then, try stitching on some scrap fabric to see how it does. If this still doesn't work, ask your local dealer if you can bring it in to go over it together. Not ever staff person at a dealer will know this machine, so you'll want to make an appointment to make sure you go when the right person is there. Good luck! I hope you get it figured out - it is such a fun machine!

Since this machine doesn’t have a locking stitch, how do you keep your start and finish stitch from coming loose?

Great quesrion! The Old fashioned way - by tying them off, or enclosing them in another seam. ❤️ But, it doesn't have a tendency to unravel. It isn't like a traditional chain stitch.

You can choose whichever combination you want for stitches and spaces. Different combinations will give you a different look ... this is just the look I wanted for this quilt. Different thread weights will also give a different look. So, you can combine stitch/space lengths and thread weights for all kinds of different looks.

I have the best luck with Coats and Clark polyester covered polyester. I heard the Sashiko machine is tested at the factory with serger thread which is polyester.
@CarolinaMoore
@CarolinaMoore 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, I've been told that polyester is recommended. It keeps down the amount of lint, which is good for the machine. I'm more of a quilter than garment sewist, so I tend to use what I have. Which is primarily Cotton and cotton blends.

I have been using 40wt and 50wt. I have heard that 12wt will work, but have not tried it yet. It goes pretty fast - very similar to the speed I go with a walking foot. And yes, it is incredible! I love the hand stitched look!

@@CarolinaMoore I purchased the Sashiko in July and love it. I've been practicing with 12 weight Aurafil with quilt layers. Also tested on jeans. For some fabrics, like stretch jean material, using a washaway layer underneath the upper fabric helps create the tension on the stitching. For quilting, the machine works with 12 weight, it just takes more care and attention. It seems to me it's about maintaining the correct tension between the bobbin and the piece of fabric. I've also always had a habit of changing needles for optimal sewing. I was looking at this machine early summer and found your unboxing post.. Thanks for the recommendation.. I was on the fence too, but I agree, this is a very special sewing tool.

Just learning my machine. I don't understand how you can quilt with it because from what I am reading, the thread ALWAYS needs to held in place by the thread cutter/holder. How can you position your fabric to the middle of the quilt and still have that happen. Am I missing something?
@CarolinaMoore
@CarolinaMoore 3 жыл бұрын
Great question! So, it always needs to be under tension. When taking the first couple stitches, having the thread secured in the cutter provides the tension. But, once you get going the previous stitching is what keeps it under tension. 🥰

I just got my machine and can’t wait to do this. Do you have to quilt all the way fro one edge to another? Or can you start and stop in the middle,of the quilt? Like to go around a hexie? How do I secure those threads? Thanks!
@CarolinaMoore
@CarolinaMoore 2 жыл бұрын
You can absolutely start in the middle. I just hate burying threads, so I rarely start anywhere but the edges. 😆 You can just do an overhand knot and bury the thread, and it should be fine. 🥰

@@CarolinaMoore it takes 3 or 4 tries to thread it, despite following instructions step by step. It struggles to pick up the thread. Once I can finally get it started, it "eats" by thread. I have tried so many brands and weights. They all break. On the few occasions I can get a funkine quilted, there is no way to get my project pulled enough so that I have a tail to even try to tie off. I also can't figure out how to freely slide my project under the feed dogs - the thread is in the way. Probably not describing that well at all. I have been very frustrated and to the point of being ready to sell :(
