Does this machine sew on knit fabrics? Thank you.

Yes. You'll need the following Singer needles: Ball Point 10/70 or 12/80 for sheer-to-lightweight knits (jersey, single knit, spandex, tricot). Ball Point 1490 for medium-to-heavyweight knits (double knit, sweatshirt, sweater knit).

No, although it has many fancy stitches. I love this machine - it's very quiet, smooth and simple to operate.

The SINGER CG590 sewing machine can be used to sew garment weight leather. Use a SINGER Leather needle, which has a wedge point designed for sewing leather. For sewing through leather such as that used for belts, etc., an industrial machine is recommended.

No, it is an industrial straight stitch machine. No frills. I use it for home decor sewing (pillow covers, window treatments, shower curtains, and tablecloths).

Yes, the sewing machine can sew with a variety of needle sizes and thread thicknesses including standard thread found at fabric stores. Thread tension will have to be adjusted to appropriately handle the lighter threads. Also, recognize that this machine will have a much heavier "industrial" feel to it than the standard household sewing machine and it offers only straight and zig-zag stitches. Although the needles can easily be found online, your daughter may not be able to find the appropriate needles at her local fabric store. A more refined and customized version of this machine is sold by Sail Rite and is called the LSZ1. The Sail Rite website will include numerous videos which will fully detail the capabilities of this machine.

The SINGER 3232 Simple sewing machine can be used to sew a whole variety of fabric thicknesses. When sewing something like a patch, be sure to use a sewing machine needle that is appropriately sized for the weight and thickness of the fabrics, such as a SINGER style 2020 needle, in at least size 16.

I am just starting to make quilts, I know this is a quilting stitch. I am not sure if the machine will have the capability. I think it will on small projects with a special foot.

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

The machine works well, the real question is 'do you work well with stretch fabrics?'...

Actually, no it does not have that feature, BUT it has sewed many long hours, and I absolutely love the ease of the machine. It is really durable and does very well for a straight forward basic machine with a few nice decorative stitches. It is an excellent machine for the money. Thanks.

To answer your question, YES. It will sew through leather without a problem. I have 2 of these electric motors, one on my single needle Consew and the other on my double needle Singer. It makes sewing on an industrial machine just as easy as sewing on a home light duty machine. Use the pulley provided and the machine will sew one stitch at a time or at full speed if you can work that fast.

We have sewed multiple layers of fabric perfectly and we have sew some leather projects on this machine. Although I would not use this machine constantly to do leather or super thick layers

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

My Singer works pretty well. I have been embroidering a baby blanket and using the embroidery stitches. Sometimes the thread breaks, but it's normal when you are embroidering. Suggestion: sewing slowly works best. I am happy with my Singer.
