Have any of you used the quilting machine by Bernina(I think), that looks like handquilting? That is all it does. It also uses regular thread not the monofilament thread. I saw a sample of what it can do but not the machine itself. Just wondering if any of you have one and what you think.

The Babylock Sashiko is not only for quilting. One lady bought it just for garment sewing and has posted pictures on the Yahoo group of the wonderful top stitching she has been able to do with it. It gives a very nice couture look to jackets and blouses.

my viking has a stitch choice...hand quilting. it is just one of many stitches included in the machine. does not matter what thread you use, lots of other stitches to. i don't think i would want to own a machine that only did a hand-stitch (stitch) i like having lots of options.

My D1 has the hand stitch look but it doesn't look right without using the monofilament thread along with the regular thread. I'm always curious about different machines. Lol, always wanting to learn something new. :lol:

I saw a machine like this at the Creative Stitching show in Edmonton earlier this month. The lady demonstrating it told me that the stitches it made were just like hand quilting. It did look nice but not a very practical machine for me and the cost was close to 2 thousand dollars.
