Yes and it will sew beautifully. You will need to unscrew the snap on and then screw this one on and it will work like a dream. To gather you will need to place the fabric under the pressure foot and just sew. To gather AND see you will need to place one material under the foot and the piece you are attaching it to between the slot and sew. It will gather as you see. I love mine. The ruffler is cool to have too!

I have hemmed light-weight denim with it. I wouldn't be afraid to hem regular jeans with it, but I would use a denim needle and a longer stitch, go very slowly, and put something under the back of the presser foot when you come to the seams so that it sits flat and stresses the needle less. They sell a little tool for that, but I've seen tutorials where they just roll up fabric.

Yes it would. Also, although, this was advertised to fit a serger, it is a tight fit. I would prefer something just a little more roomy if I had it to do over.

Check your instruction manual and also take a look at the needles that came with your machine. If you're using a standard sewing machine needle (which I'm guessing you are) then the Schmetz Jean & Denim needle will fit and work with your machine. I use the Jean & Denim needle in my Janome and it works like a charm. You might want to slow down the speed on your stitching if you're sewing heavy fabric. Good Luck!

Should work. If you have a hole for a screw on the sewing plate, then it will work!

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

That will be dependent on your needle, as far as the machine itself, the best investment we have made with amazon, we sew clothing, canvas bags, sheets and drapes, and just about anything friends of ours can tear, will handle everything from silks to denim no problem, if you want to stich leather get the right needle, watch your speed and go

Probably. But I would Serge any edges before you begin, and you're going to need a pretty fine needle to not create runs in the weft and warp

I wouldn't advise it. Serger thread is a different type of thread used to construct clothes so its more durable. This polyester thread for embroidery is more for decorative purpose. I would suggest Maxi-lock or Sure-lock for serger thread

I have used this machine to hem denim jeans, sew through several layers of corduroy, and quilt with no problem. I do use different feet for different projects, which helps feed the fabric through more easily, and I do lift the foot when going over a very thick seam to help it feed through manually. I love this sewing machine! I have had no issues with plastic vs. metal gears so far.

no, this machine can not be used as a serger, it is ideal for finishing as sheath shirts, dresses and shorts, she completes the finish with a professional look.

Unfortunately, no. This machine is rather complicated. After a few experiments, I put mine on coverstitch and left it there. Fortunately, I have a great serger.

I am assuming you mean sergers, and the answer is no. Sergers need a special heavier thread. I did find these threads to be of quality and I love the colors but you need a different kind, do a search for serger thread.

You can see that in page 39 from manual (http://www.manualowl.com/m/Singer/14J250-Stylist-II-Serger/Manual/331696?page=39). I hope help you.

Yes. Ive done two quilting projects one smaller, one large denim and both went very smooth.

Izzy, if you can thread a sewing machine, you can thread this machine. I carefully followed the directions in the booklet and to my surprise I got it on the first try. I also took the beginning serger class on Craftsy.com which helped. The difficulty with threading the machine is tight space. But with the tweezers its manageable. I would do it when you have an hour of uninterrupted time to concentrate on it the task at hand. Then go step by step. I never used a serger before. I was very leery when I started, but it was easier than I thought. I think this is a good basic machine for beginning to use a serger. I made a simple knit skirt using the serger. It was fast and I got a good result. I really recommend the Craftsy class which I watched prior to using my machine. Hope this helps.
