Sashiko Machine--Anyone have one?
I am thinking of getting one but would like to hear from some who have one how they are. I think it is just what I am looking for. Something to do my quilting.

I have one and I really like it. I have used it for runners and pillows. I reupholstered some outdoor furniture in patchwork and used it to quilt some designs on it. Everyone has different opinions about every machine. It doesnt look like hand quilting on the back, but no worse than regular machine stitching, IMO.

I have sewn on the new Babylock Sashiko machine. From the one stitch you can do 7 different stitch looks. The back stitches look okay for me, a chain stitch look. The one I used was on sale for less then $1000. I made a great looking stitch detailed tote. I don't put much stock in replies of it's too expensive, that is different for everyone. Here is a video of the machine that shows the back stitches: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRhq8C6JWj0&feature=related
