What is Sashiko?

Sashiko is a traditional Japanese embroidery technique characterized by simple running stitches that create beautiful geometric patterns. Traditionally done by hand, Sashiko has been used for centuries to reinforce fabric, repair clothing, and create stunning decorative designs. The Baby Lock Sashiko 2 brings this timeless art form into the modern age.

Authentic Hand-Stitched Look

Precise Sashiko Stitches A specialty needle working in conjunction with a latch wire system forms defined stitches and precise spacing to create a true hand-stitched look. Your machine-stitched Sashiko will be virtually indistinguishable from traditional hand work.

Stitch Length Control Create short or long stitches ranging from 2mm to 5mm using the adjustable lever. This flexibility allows you to customize your stitching for different projects and effects.

Stitch Spacing Control Create short or long spaces with adjustable spacing from 2mm to 5mm. The characteristic spacing of Sashiko stitching is what gives it its distinctive appearance, and the Sashiko 2 gives you complete control.

Versatile Specialty Stitching

Specialty Stitch Mode Complete control of stitch and spacing is essential for decorative techniques such as:
