Sashiko

For over 200 years, sewers have created gorgeous patterns by hand stitching, using a technique known as Sashiko. Now, this traditional look can be created on a machine with the new exclusive Baby Lock Sashiko. It perfectly replicates these distinctive stitches with a unique needle system and adjustable stitches and spacing.

Create short or long precise Sashiko stitches ranging from 2mm to 5mm using the adjustable lever. Create short or long spaces with adjustable spacing from 2mm to 5mm.

The adjustable presser foot height allows ease of turning fabric, stitching circles, squares and other shapes for complete control. The entire needle area is surrounded by a lighting system for maximum illumination.

Complete control of stitch and spacing is essential for decorative techniques such as braiding, couching, cross-stitching and adding trim. Now with the specialty stitch mode, a complete cycle of one single stitch and space allows the control you need when single stitch sewing is desired
