sashiko machine
#11
I have looked at them My LQS has one. They do some really neat projects on it. I just can't pay that price for it. It would be lots of fun to play with. I have looked on Craigslist for one. No success yet.

Awhile back, there were instructions to use your dsm to do this stitching. I think it called for monofilament on the top and colored thread in the bobbin. Or was it the other way around? One had to adjust the bobbin tension to get the stitch. Not sure about the top thread tension.
Do anyone recall this idea for sure? How successful?

I work at a fabric store that sells Babylock machines. Babylock has some informative videos that show you how to do some amazing 'other' things with the Sashiko machine such as making special trims by braiding yarn or embellishing with other ribbon, etc. You can even make flowers using organza material as well as doing cross stitches and feather stitches.
