What is the Baby Lock Sashiko? - A Sewing machine that replicates the Hand-Stitched look!

[@saraaronzon4562]

Reminds me of how my grand grandmother used to sew by hand.😊

This is the most informative Baby Lock Sashiko video I've watched so far. Thank you.

[@saraaronzon4562]

You’re awesome! I like watching these video tutorials even though I will not have this beautiful machine, I learn so much. Thank you.

[@dianaalcock7773]

Very awesome like it

[@HRHDMKYT]

I love how the Sashiko machine looks like hand quilting, but that throat space looks very small. I’d be wanting to quilt up to king sized quilts, but it looks like they wouldn’t fit so I’d be struggling (it’s an expensive machine for a one-stitch-only type of sewing machine). Thanks. ~Diana K.

I love Sashiko embroidery. This is an amazing and fun machine and I want one for Christmas!

Great video!

Awesome demonstration. Question. Correct me if I’m wrong, a basic sewing machine can mimic the same thing? If yes, the advantage with a sewing machine that has the feature to auto cut thread, it would saved time from pulling the fabric outward and tying or securing the knots by hand. I can’t see spending $$$ for the Baby Lock Sashiko if a general sewing machine can do the same thing.😎

Hello, while many machines can imitate a sashiko style stitch, they will always be imperfect and cannot compare to the actual hand stitching. The Baby Lock Sashiko was specifically designed to come as close as possible to replicating the hand stitch style, and does an amazing job at it. So if you are looking for precision sashiko stitching, this machine is definitely the best option.

[@tullochgorum6323]

Interesting - a similar idea to the original sewing machine patented by Thimonnier in France in the 1830s. He didn't use a top thread, and pulled the bottom thread through the fabric with a barbed needle.

SUPER

[@dianeroome972]

This is interesting. How long have these machines been around?Can you use traditional sashimi threads, or thick threads in general? TYIA.

[@jeanarcher3572]

The manual says to not use thread that is thicker than 30 wt.

Hi, I was told that I could not use this machine on a Quilt and Quilt over any seems is that true?

[@victoriamcintosh5122]

what is toddle for on the machine, not sure I get it, can you elaborate more? thanks

[@TheQuiltingBeeSpokane]

Hello! The toggle for the machine sets the needle up down position and readies the machine to take the bobbin out.

[@savanahgeorge786]

So it sounds like you sell these? And one question. I was looking at them for quilting. The one side would have the quilted stitched but the back of the quilt would be a solid line?

[@TheQuiltingBeeSpokane]

We do sell them at our shop, and that is correct about how the stitches look on the backside.

Cost of machine?

[@hazaltaylor6097]

What sort of price are we looking at

[@TheQuiltingBeeSpokane]

We offer ours for $2,999.

[@rosalindtaylor3479]

@@TheQuiltingBeeSpokane Plus $$$ for accessories and bed extension. Guess I’ll be hand sewing my sashiko projects..

[@tedipatterson6968]

Is this for the Baby Lock Sashiko 2 or the original one? @@TheQuiltingBeeSpokane

[@phakinkongchanpaet3699]

จักรราคาประมาณกี่บาทครับ

[@rosalindtaylor3479]

$3,000 plus expensive “accessories “ bed extension $200 plus $379 for “extras” that are needed to fully use this one trick pony. Why not get the Japsew DD200 pin stitch which sews through thick fabric. This demo shows thin fabrics and a very thin quilt filler. Very confusing!

[@HRHDMKYT]

I agree. But. never heard of a Japsew DD200. Is that used for quilting (which is why I would want it. So it should also have a much bigger throat space!). Thanks. ~Diana K.
