Very interesting love Ron's elegant way of applying the stitching as details on his sewing. Would love one but over $4k in Australia so hard to justify but you have inspired me to look at other stitches on my regular sewing machine.
Very interesting! I’ve long admired Sashiko stitching and thought about the hours put into it. I had bought my husband a shirt with this stitching on it now I know how it was done!
Except no, it doesn’t. Bernina has a built in fake hand stitching “look” but this machine is authentic look at the top and a locked stitch on the back.
Omg! Only 2500? Compared to the Juki that’s a steal!!! Omg time for me to start saving. It’s a machine I’ve been waiting for many years. Oh the possibilities!
Just for information, the Baby Lock Sashiko needles are Organ brand and cost between $14-19/each, depending if you buy on sale or not. Therefore, please take care with the needle to ensure it lasts a long time. Great presentation!
Great instruction on this machine. I bought this machine a while ago. It worked great for a few years mostly on quilts. Then it started to act up. Never liked it after that. To me it was a waste of money. I have many other machines that I love and use but thank you anyway.
I have mixed reactions to this. The idea behind sashiko (and part of its beauty) is that it is a slow, meditative stitching technique. Part of its loveliness is that it is done by hand. To create it with machine stitching seems wrong somehow.
You mention this to be a quilting machine, but we quilters usually use cotton fabric and have intricate curved designs we want to quilt into three layers at once, and this was not demonstrated. {FYI, I don't stitch onto knits or wool at all.} I also would want to have a window onto the bobbin or some indicator showing how much thread was left in the bobbin so I wouldn't run out of thread in the middle of a line of sewing. Demonstrating it using real Sashiko thread would be a winner, too, as heavy thread would give an authentic look. This machine seems to be a prototype with easy-to-jam innards, and I would hesitate to buy it (even if I could afford it) until any bugs have been shaken out and a new model is put out. But thanks for showing us this; it's an interesting concept!
A $2500 sewing machine that can only be used for decorative stitching HA HA HA LOL. As much as I like Sashiko stitching, its never going to happen in my world
The engineer designed this machine so his wife could continue with her traditional Sashiko that she loved to do but had developed arthritis. Trad. Sashiko and decorative finishes, but also can do hemming that has a hand-picked effect. Actual quilting so you have a hand-quilted look. With certain serger attachments like a binding attachment, can sew on binding on to a quilt, or binding on a garment. Seriously.
I have this machine. Only fooled around with it. Glad to see a demo video. BAD demo steps: poor camera work, not close up accuracy; why color on same color, honestly, do you expect us to see?; poor vocabulary choices: here there how about more descriptive accurate words: right, left, away rather than here, there; help us see better: put a color card behind bobbin case rather than just use happenstance color item as backgroung. Poor teaching technique. Rather than just publish your video, do a good edit evalue thinking you’re a novice trying to learn. I started sewing in the 1950s, own many machines tailored and taught younsters how to sew. /???/ can you use this machine to quilt sandwich pieces together? I ❤ BL. Have a airthread serger from 1990s; perfect operation. Meant to help you, improve your demo for us beginner users. Thanks!!❤❤❤
100% agree. I stopped watching because of the poor camera work, the color on color, and the incessant bikini references. It was shot with a low quality 480p video. Nowadays, it is more common to shoot in HD. I would say please do better next time, but I won't be here to see it, and I won't be subscribing.
The needles are a specialty design. They are long-lasting and don’t get changed out as frequently as traditional needles. Organ needles are high quality.
I bought my machine Black Friday and still haven’t been able to play with it. Thank you for all the great information!

I recently was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my thumb, so hand stitching is out. I love sashiko and this would be great for me!

Use invisible thread on your bobbin with your regular machine and it will give you this stitch look. Use regular thread on top stitch. It works.
Is it something you have tried?
Except no, it doesn’t. Bernina has a built in fake hand stitching “look” but this machine is authentic look at the top and a locked stitch on the back.
Very interesting, love the stich 😊

Exactly. Sashiko is hand embroidery.
This machine is absurd
Why does this feel like it was filmed 30y ago?
can you use this machine to quilt your quilts?

27:18 you do not need Fray check generally
On the back, there’s a chain stitch, correct?

For people with more money than sense
Love the machine & the possibilities! (Tho can the camera focus be better and focused on them and not focused on the background?)
Looks like smocking. I do not need it but it is interesting.
Smocking is hand embroidery over gathered pleats.
@@amandaglidewell8451 I am quite aware of that. Gathers have to be done very evenly and that reminds me of the gathers.
Lol what! I have a cheap mini sewing machine that only does straight stitch. I cant space it out tho. My vintage kenmore might work
I use mine for quilting
It was not designed for quilters. It was designed to do Sashiko but by machine.

Is this real? Why does it look like 1994?😂
This video looks like it was made in the 1970s 😂
SASHIKO MACHINE - a complete contradiction in terms.
