Basically, it's a very even running stitch embroidery. The Japanese traditional sashiko can be done in even lines, or simple patterns. I did lines. It's kind of my way of hand quilting, without having to be a good hand quilter. I think you can kind of see it in this pic...

You're much better at hand quilting than I will ever be. I don't ever intend to hand quilt!
