Baby Lock
Sashiko (BLQK2)
Recreate the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese hand-stitching with the Baby Lock Sashiko Hand-Stitch Machine (BLQK2)! Engineered with a patented specialty needle and latch wire system, the Sashiko machine uses a single thread to form defined, authentic hand-stitched runs and spacing automatically. Complete with a 3-color LED stitch monitor system (Blue/Green/Orange), independent controls for both stitch length and stitch spacing (2mm to 5mm), Specialty Stitch Mode for single-cycle control, an easy-access side-loading oscillating bobbin system, and adjustable presser foot height and pressure, the Baby Lock Sashiko delivers unprecedented texture and artistry to quilts, garments, and decorative projects.
Uses a specialty needle and latch wire system with a single thread to form defined stitches and spaces for an authentic hand-stitched look.
Intelligent LED lighting system indicates stitch cycle state: Blue for space state, Green for next stitch formation, and Orange for next space creation.
Dual front-panel levers adjust top stitch length (2 to 5) and distance between stitches (2 to 5) independently for customized hand-stitched effects.
Single-cycle stitch mode provides complete control for braiding, couching, and trim, paired with adjustable foot height for smooth fabric rotation.
Easy Access
Side Loading Bobbin
As with most quilting machines, the BLQK2 has a side-loading, oscillating bobbin system that makes for easy replacement. It uses Class 15 bobbins that hold more thread so that you can go longer between bobbin replacements. To access the bobbin while sewing, the machine has an easy-open cover that allows timely access to remove and load new bobbins. The Sashiko also includes a built-in bobbin!
Full Illumination
Free-flow Sewing & Lights
The adjustable presser foot height allows ease of turning fabric stitching circles, squares, and other shapes for complete control. The entire needle area is surrounded by a lighting system for maximum illumination.
Independent Control
Stitch Length & Spacing
The stitch length lever and the stitch spacing lever are conveniently located on the right side of the front panel. You will notice there are two sets of numbers ranging from 2 (shortest) through 5 (longest) for each lever. One range is for the stitch length, which forms the actual stitch on top of the fabric. The other one is for the stitch spacing, which is the distance between the actual stitches. Slide the stitch length lever and the stitch spacing lever up or down to your desired setting by aligning the lever's pointed extension with the markings indicated on the machine. The levers do not have to be set at identical settings.
Precise Single-Stitch Control
Specialty Stitch Mode
Complete control of stitch and spacing is essential for decorative techniques such as braiding, couching, cross-stitching, and adding trim. Now, with the specialty stitch mode, a complete cycle of one single stitch and space allows the control you need when single-stitch sewing is desired.
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 an authentic hand-stitched look.
Know What's Next
LED Monitor
This unique system allows you to easily recognize when the needle is creating a stitch or a space. The blue LED light indicates a space, and a stitch will form every time the foot control is pressed. The green LED light indicates that the next time the needle penetrates the fabric there will be an actual stitch formed. The orange LED light indicates that the next time the needle penetrates the fabric the stitch space will be created.
Fine-Tune Your Fabric Feed
Presser Foot Pressure Adjustment
This is a must-have feature for those serious about creating the perfect stitch. This dial allows you to adjust the force exerted on your fabric by the presser foot, which improves how your fabric is fed through your machine. It also prevents unsightly puckering and stretching on difficult-to-sew fabrics.
