machine stitch that looks like hand stitching
 

I saw a Fons & Porter show where the guest showed a stitch that looks like sashiko. She used monopoly on top and a thicker thread in the bobbin, and the stitch was five tiny stitches in the monopoly, and then it pulled up the bobbin thread for a long stitch on the top, resulting in a sashiko look. Does anyone know what machine stitch this is?

That's been on Pfaff machines for decades. Now it's on some other brands, I think. I have to look in my instruction manual for the name of the stitch.
The Babylock Sashiko machine makes an actual quilting stitch, without the clear thread stitch inbetween. I have one and love it for quilting small projects. I chalk on a stencil and follow it. This is not fast quilting, like longarm or fmq can be. It's a slower process, and the machine is like no other. It has no top thread at all, only uses a bobbin thread and the threading is also unique to that machine.

On my Pfaff Tiptronic 2040 there are two, and they are called Quilting Stitch No. 11 and Quilting Stitch No. 15.

I have the Sashiko Babylock also and LOVE IT! Well worth the cost which in my opinion compared to other machines was very reasonable

I think if you look for a you tube on how to use domestic machine to create sashiko stitch...I bet a ton of them will come up

Some Bernina machines have that stitch. It doesn't look as good in person as it does in the video. The monopoly really shows.

What's monopoly? Is it a clear thread?

Yes, FYI it's pronounced mono-poly. You can look it up at Superior Threads.

Singer has what they call a 'bean stitch' on some of their models. i tried it a few years ago, and decided against it. it made a beautiful hand stitched look on top, but on the back it had little knots behind every stitch. i didn't have time to play with it, but maybe if i had i'd have liked it better. Shop staff didn't know much about it at the time.
