I have an "old" Viking #1plus that also has a stitch that looks like hand quilting also using invisible thread on top and regular thread on bobbin. It has something to do with adjusting tensions so that bobbin thread is pulled up to top to make every other stitch... Used it a few times looked good. Isn't sashiko sort of like what I call primitive quilt stitch -that is a larger stitch?
