here's a pic of the sashiko embroidery on the geisha quilt i posted earlier in the week.
all the sashiko was done by the embroidery machine. i just hooped the entire quilt (top, batting, and backing) and let the machine do its thing.

Most machines these days will do some fancy stitches, and these would give it an appearance similar to the "crazy quilts" made in earlier days.

It was fun doing it that way but unless it is a for a special person it is a lot of work.

i think my embroidery machine is the least expensive you can get on the market because you have to use your computer and send the design to the sewing machine.
i have the singer futura CE200.
i got it for $450 and while its not the best one on the market it has met my needs.
i've only used it to do embroidery onto quilts and for names and dates.
i don't think i'd ever attempt to work on baseball caps or anything like that.

I have used redwork embroidery designs to quilt with. Last year at Christmas I made a snowman quilt for my sister in law and used snowflakes for the quilting. You don't need any stabalizer just need to hoop the section to quilt. Turns out really great. Kacy
