Hand sewing and creative folding and wrapping get the job done and allow kids to reuse the materials provided.

Machine not needed at all but could be useful. The package comes with various fabric pieces and trims. The model is soft bodied so that the pins provided can stick in easily to hold fabric and trims in place. My Granddaughter spent many hours at age 11/12 creating fabulous evening gowns and such. I am certain that she learned a lot about the fall and drape of various fabrics. The kit comes with needles and thread but she didn't use them. In terms of entertainment she certainly got my money's worth out of this gift!

You would have to go on line and find out what type of shank you have to your sewing machine. If it is low shank you should be fine.

Barbara....I have used a regular sewing achine for years, and I would not recommend anyone to purchase this contraption,..difficult to use, and broke after several attempts....a good idea that failed.

My guess would be no. The top inside has a plastic zippered compartment and padding which would not lay flat enough on a sewing machine. However, if you would hand sew the initials....that might work (going through the outside material only.)

It's plastic tape. I am no expert on sewing, but I would think the tape would just tear at the holes.

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

Funny you should ask...I was just using my sewing machine on the table today. So the answer is yes. And the surface is a really good size for sewing.

I don't think sewing it is an option, as it's mostly used for wrapping around things to keep them stationery.

No sewing machine will stitch through crystals and rhinestones . . .those will need to be added by hand or a special tool designed for that purpose. An experienced user will have no problem using this machine to stitch the garments.

No it's not but if you need to adjust length it can be done easily with sewing machine �

Yes you can. You are basically sewing precut forms. The machine is just a enclosed needle that moves up and down. The felt self seals due to the material.

Depends on what you call Heavy-duty - I would not try and sew canvas, leather or very heavy Jeans. But you can quilt smaller Items on it. The keyhole/Pass through is not very large so trying to push big gabs of stuff though it is not going to happen. I would look for a Juki or Thomasson machine I think it is called.

Sounds like a good idea. Try it. Access to a sewing machine would be really handy.

I think for a sewing machine you would want something with a broader top. This is great for laptops though.

This machine is only set up for thread. Yarn would get bogged down in the bobbin case. You should look at commercial sewing machines to use with yarn. :)

No it is for garments. I knitted a number of things for my family at Christmas and sewed them into the garments.

I would say yes, if you were ambitious enough and good with sewing. It is however, not made to be removed. Fairly inexpensive if you wanted to try it I guess. Honestly, I wouldn't know though. It is sewn all the way around and through the middle in several places.
