Will this machine sew through duck cloth and denim?

Hi Mikal, It's not really made for the heavy fabrics but if you call the store toll free 800-442-8227 and ask for Paul. He can get you in the best machine for your needs. Thanks, Scott

I love my Janome magnolia sewing machine, but I don't think that I would try making denim clothes on it, unless I would perhaps serge first and then press to one side and top-stitch the fabric. I would certainly proceed with caution with any machine though and be sure to use the appropriate needle. Hope this helps.

It is a full fledged sewing machine... Just not the most hearty one I've seen. I wouldn't go sewing denim.

NO - I had difficulty with this machine sewing sewing on anything i wouldn't reccomend it at all. my Janome hd3000 does very well on heavier fabrics (up to a point) you really need for the very heaviest an industrial mach. i have a very good Singer industrial.

Yes when you order it. You tell what machine you have. Then when you get it it tells you what settings for your machine. I also have that sewing machine. Good luck

Trisha, Buttonholes can not be done on this machine. This is an Embroidery Only machine. Thank you,

I don't know what u r planning to sew. I wanted to sew leather & I bought HD machine. It works great & I love it. I do sew fabric too but I bought it to sew leather & it was perfect for my projects.

It does indeed do basic sewing, just be careful when threading the bobbin since it takes several tries for it to grab when pulling the thread back through the plate

Yes. I have done both a 2 needle wide and narrow stitch with this machine; one can also do a 3 needle cover-stitch. I have mostly used it on t-shirts and jogging pants. I love this machine.

I would imagine so, I'm an electrician and I use it to tap electrical cabinets and equipment which are made from steel. I've never seen that type of sewing machine but I can't imagine these taps wouldn't work. Sometimes I drill a small pilot hole before I use the tap bits for thicker gauge material.

I'm not sure I have a brother sewing machine but I guess once it's the removable foots I uses it should work ...

Boy I really don't know...if you have a sewing center - not Joann's, but a place that sells sewing machines around you, call them and ask....sorry

I haven't tried yet, since I just got my machine. While I was researching machines I found a you tube video demonstrating sewing a seam like jeans have on denim and then he folded it up twice like a hem and it sewed great.

I don't think so. I have sewn a few layers of jean, but I think that is far as it will go. If you are going to be doing a lot of leather sewing, I would suggest finding an old vintage machine. Or if you can afford it, an industrial sewing machine.

It works on a standard sewing machine. Serger pressed feet are quite model specific.
