For over 200 years, sewists have created gorgeous patterns by hand stitching, using a technique known as Sashiko. Now, this traditional look can be created on a machine with the new exclusive Sashiko from Baby Lock. It perfectly replicates these distinctive stitches with a unique needle system and adjustable stitches and spacing.

Come have fun with your Baby Lock Sashiko machine!  It does more than make perfectly spaced stitches.  This is an awesome  machine.  So why not  come stretch your creative boundaries!  In each class you will learn a new technique and become more comfortable with your Sassy Girl. Hope to see you! Confident Beginner, $20/session
