I just tried it out on my Brother PQ1500S. It works pretty well. If my camera batteries ever recharge, I'll post some pictures. I think it is worth playing with for a bit. I can see it enhancing some quilts done in reproduction fabrics.

I just tried it with a plain old straight stitch. My 1500S is a straight stitch only machine. I have two cream colored threads in the top and black in the bottom. As you can see, I tried a few different stitch lengths, but did not have to adjust my tension.

My cheap little brother also had a quilting stitch. I found it too slow though so didn't ever use it much.

You can replicate the sashiko by having invisable thread in the top threading and regular thread in the bobbin.

On the Pfaff Quilt Expression 4.0 choose stitch number 52. Put monofilament thread ( I use YLI) in your needle and the colour of thread you want to show in the bobbin. Set the needle thread tension as high as you need to get the look that suits you. I put my thread tension as high as it will go. I lengthen the stitch to 6.5 or higher. Engage IDT.
When you sew, all you will see is the bobbin thread.
Hope this helps.
