I've tried this on my Viking, it works fine, but the look on this machine ( at least in the video ) seemed much closer to real hand sewing - it always amazes me to see these different options. Thank you

Used it at a dealer...Babylock "Sashiko"...Only does that stitch you can vary lengh of the straight stitch. It sell for 2400 but can be found for less if you shop around to diff dealers.
I've also tried the invisable/black thread in my Viking and looks nice but the "Sashiko" is unique...
You can go to Babylock website and see another video on it.

I agree with Candace.. it may be pretty on the front.. but I'm thinking the chain stitch on the back would be kind of off-putting.. I'll stick with hand stitching for "hand stitching".. and the prices I'm seeing would buy a LOT of needles and thread.
