Baby Lock
Sashiko (BLQK2)
For over 200 years, sewers have created gorgeous patterns by hand stitching using a traditional technique known as Sashiko. Now, this distinctive hand-stitched look can be created effortlessly on a machine with the exclusive Baby Lock Sashiko! Using a specialty needle working in conjunction with an innovative latch wire system, the Sashiko forms defined stitches and precise spacing for an authentic, traditional hand-stitch appearance. With independent controls for stitch length and spacing (2mm to 5mm), Specialty Stitch Mode, LED monitoring, and free-flow sewing, the Sashiko unlocks unrivaled creative embellishment.
A specialty needle and latch wire system replicate true traditional hand-stitching, at machine speed.
Independently adjustable stitch length and spacing levers for complete stitch customization.
A color LED panel clearly shows needle position, bobbin exchange mode, and Specialty Stitch Mode status.
Adjustable presser foot height and pressure for smooth turning around circles and curves.
True Hand-Stitched Appearance

Customizable Geometry & Indicators
Stitch Length & Spacing Controls & LED Monitor
Adjustable levers independently set stitch length (2mm–5mm) and spacing (2mm–5mm). The color LED panel clearly displays whether the needle is up/down, in bobbin exchange mode, or in Specialty Stitch Mode.
