Machine that does Sashiko stitches?
I was in a sewing machine shop the other day. I saw this terrific machine that does a straight quilting stitch that looks so much like a stitch done by hand. I think it will do wide curves, however I think all you can adjust is the length of the stitch and the distance between stitches. I can't recall the machine brand, it started with an 'S'.
I surfed and could not come up with that machine or any other brand that does the Sashiko stitch. Help please. Libber

Babylock makes a Sashiko only dedicated machine but it is kind of pricey for a single purpose machine unless you have a large machine budget. They are also hard to find at most shops that stock and sell Babylock. I would love to have one but can't quite justify it right now. If you google Babylock Sashiko machine you should get a link to the site.

It's likely the Babylock Sashiko machine. I know of only one person who has bought one and I know she paid about $1000 for it. On other forums, the pricing has been listed between $1,800 and $2,600, so it could be she got a wholesale deal.
BTW, according to Bernina online, you can fake a sashiko like stitch by using invisible thread in the bottom, as I recall (don't quote me on that).
