    You need to lay out your beads and use a long thin needle. It's a pain in the rear. I did skating costumes. Never again.

    If you have an embroidery machine, there are sashiko patterns which look very good. Babylock has a sashiko machine (expensive)

    If you have digitizing software you can do your own sashiko patterns.

    Keep your cat if you have one away from the beading. Goes for a toddler, too. My idiot cat tried to swallow the needle.

    I bought some sashiko patterns for my machine and some indigo fabric and for the life of me can't find the fabric. One of my shops carry the hand sewn patterns, but doesn't have a web site. I do know you need to use a heavy thread in the machine. 60 I think.

    I tried hand sashiko -- it's easy, but I didn't take to it. I bought a starter kit from Purl Soho but I have also seen a book in the library that had free designs to trace.

    Do you know Mary Corbet's site, Needle n thread? That's the go-to blog for hand embroidery, with lots of tutorials.

    Oh, you are so correct.
    I remember that sight. I lost alot of bookmarked sites which n my Kindle went down. Thank you.

    I couldn't figure out exactly the name and then forgot about it. That is a grate site,  whooo hooo!!! NeedleNThread l. I found some Sashiko kits through Amazon, I think they could be alright to learn with.
    I did see a book of Sashiko designs there too, that would be nice to have.
    My daughter and I both live ve the Sashiko stitch so much, the simplicity, but hand stitch look, the machine would be beneficial.

    Does ANYONE have the Babylock Sashiko ?
    Do you like it? Let me know pros and cons if you do have one please.

    I think it's so cool. I love stitch work. My Mom had done some hand embroidery, needle point, and I treasure
    Every piece she made. I am wanting to display them with a little hand work of my own.

    My mom n law is helping me learn to do embroidery. Shes good at it .Just make a B she says and fill it in , OK,
    Hehehe, well I worked and worked on it my B never did look like hers.
    I am slowly getting better. Being that I am just trying that's why I want what need but I don't know how much of it I will do. I love trying new things, just like the challenge, of trying to create the fabulous vibrant design's.
    With the patchwork would be perfect.
    Thanks again.

    I got confused, thicker thread is a smaller #. So it's #40. I know someone has has the machine, she showed a quilt and it looked like hand sticthing.The stitch isn't the same on both sides was another thing I remember. They were giving them away with another purchace for awhile.I think they are about $2000 new.

    They were running that deal when I bought the BL Elizabeth, I really
    wanted the decorative stiches she can do, at the time I didn't know
    Much about it. I found this Lady who gives classes and has tutorials on using the machine,
    I will have to look up that link. She's GOOD. I would like to know if the Sashiko is hard to use
    Cause it's a bobbin machine.

    The thread # you gave is right larger is lower. Hand Piecing, I use a heavier thread, took me getting use to
    ThaT logic. kinda backwardsrsh.

    Thanks Lorie, fur the tips, I know they will help others as well.

    When I win the lottery maybe I can get Me a Sashiko. Until then
    Then just have to make longer straight stitches.😃 she giggles.

    So sweet of you to share.
    I will look for Purl Soho, and kits. They would be grate to see if I like working on them.

    All info helps more than you know.

    I love the embellishing, makes certain projects just a bit MORE Special, or Interesting.
    Thanks much .
