Introducing Baby Lock’s newest “Sassy Girl” -- the Sashiko machine! This machine sews a perfect little “hand stitch” just like the stitch found on traditional Japanese sashiko stitched projects or your grandmother’s antique quilts. As you can see by the photos in the Sashiko Projects Category, this simple stitch can create stunning embellishments! Baby Lock: Sashiko

Are you happy today? This giant panda bear wants to know! Genki Bear quilt is appliqued, embellished and quilted with Baby Lock's Sashiko machine. Hemp string is flip stitched onto the bamboo branches for a realistic look. Check out the detail view to see how the Sashiko stitch was used to create a variegated, "feathered" applique stitching around the edge of the panda applique. Sashiko cross stitching embellishes the leafy branches Genki is so enjoying for lunch!

Sashiko meet the embroidery machine! This autumn table topper is embellished with machine embroidery "cut" leaf design, appliqued with Sashiko stitching and Sashiko flip stitched cording. Tiny bittersweet berry bunch embroidery designs are scattered through the leaves. Sashiko quilting finishes it up for a rustic, shabby chic look!

Sassy Girl can cross stitch too! I used Baby Lock's Sashiko machine to create the cross stitches that decorate the bodice of this little boy's romper. It was fun, easy and faster than you'd think! The rickrack trim is Sashiko stitched in place as well.
