Interesting! I had never heard of that technique. I would
love to get my hands on one of the metal "traditional
sashiko thimble"s shown on that site. All they seem to sell
are leather ones.

Yes, that is interesting, thank you. But I wonder if the Sashiko
technique can be programmed into one of the entry-level (less expensive)
monogramming sewing machines? It kind of reinforces and thickens the
fabric, doesn't it? Good reference. The sewing Gods are smiling--and
almost as much fun as the van Gods (did you see those
commercials--putting disco lights and purple Tiki water fountains in the
back of 70's vans with those heavy, shag-plush interiors? Now there's a
sewing project)
