Have you seen the machine that makes stitches like hand quilting? I was so amazed,it only draws thread from a bobbin no upper thread on it, I don't remember where I saw it, or the make. But I saw video, guess it was on Fons&Porter show.

Was it the Sashiko quilting machine? http://www.babylock.com/quilting/sashiko/

Yes, but I think that's all it does. Personally I couldn't justify the cost.

What is the price of this machine?

There are regular machines such as Pfaff that do that stitch. you will have to check with your dealer in case it is already on yours.

I think you can do that with any machine by using invisible thread on top, regular thread in bobbin and crank up the tension so it pulls up the bobbin thread. I usually use black in the bobbin.

Berninas have a stitch that is to look like hand quilting.

I agree with whoever called it a one-trick pony. Not enough bang for my buck.
