It is a truly beautiful way to decorate a piece of fabric. Thanks!
I loved the look so I bought the Sashiko Babylock a no. of yrs ago and love it...It only uses a bobbin thread and a hook and needle system...Very unique and looks exactly like hand stitching...You can select several diff stitch sizes and space between each Everyone I show it to thinks I did it.
Well worth the money to purchase one and save your hands.
