Machine quilting that looks like hand quilting
#21
I looked at one of those Babylock Sashiko machines - it does an incredible stitch - but the price sent me into cardiac arrest - it was $1900.00 - it only does the one stitch but you can lengthen the stitch and change how many stitches per inch. Its very cool but very pricey.

Do a search on the board for mock sashiko. Several people have posted pictures of some of the results. It can look pretty good. My picture is not very good, but in person, it looks a bit hand stitched.
