Sashiko Techniques

Baby Lock’s Sashiko machine creates a perfectly spaced, simple “hand sewn” stitch, traditionally found in Japanese fiber arts and reminiscent of hand quilting from bygone ages. Modern fiber artists will delight in the versatility of this sweetly elegant stitch! This 28-page, glossy full color tutorial booklet illustrates ten Sashiko machine techniques – cross stitching, pleating/ruffling, shadow work, single and double flip stitching, double dutch flip stitching, fringe flip stitching, Sassy fill, feather stitching, and quilting. There are a few mini projects included in the book; the pale pink bonnet shown in the photos is one of the projects! This booklet also illustrates basic machine parts and lights.
