Can you sew like a rolled hem or make the stitch very narrow?

No, not really. This machine is really limited and not worth purchasing. Go the extra money and get a real serger. I learned the hard way == you get what you pay for.

yes you can arrange the fabric and only cut one circle size just make sure you have covered the correct area, and it should work well. did for me!

While you can do that, the manual gives specific instructions on how to remove the thread, and it is more like a sewing machine in that sense. However, unlike a sewing machine where the tension is released automatically by raising the presser foot, on this machine, raising the presser foot does not automatically release the tension. In order to do this, you have to push the tension release buttons on each applicable thread and pull at the same time. It takes some practice, but it can be done. Before I figured it out, I did just what you described. This works, but for hemming you may have some problems. If you don't release the tension, you will have to sew a stitch diagonally and then rip it out in order to preserve the clean hem line. This will weaken the stitch because you won't have enough thread to tie it off. You may end up having to redo it. Also, if you lift the presser foot and try to move the fabric, without releasing the tension, you may rip the thread, which again will weaken it. So, the answer is yes and no. You can do it that way, but you may run into some issues if you're hemming. Better to follow the directions. You'll get the hang of it.

I hand embroidered on the flour sacks. It turned out o.k.. I would have liked it better if the weave had been tighter.

I would not think it would. There is a tape that is made for hems. It used to be called Stitch Witchery but not sure what they calle it now. You can get it at most retail stores in the fabric department. You have to iron it on and it bonds one side of the material to the other. When the heat hits it, it basically turns to a glue, and that can be washed several times.

It won't be the prettiest closure seams if you do, but you would be able to sew it. If a home sewing machine can't handle it, take it to somewhere that does alterations or an upholstery shop. Their industrial machines should have no issue with it and they can probably put a nice finished edge on it too.

Are you making a garment out of the suede and then doing the embroidery? The fabric is soft and has a nap. If you can email me at keelysgrma@q.com and give me your address I can mail you a sample of the fabric so you can try the bead work on it before you buy the fabric. I am not home right now and will be home Mon eve. I can do it at that time. Karen O'Keefe

I just got mine today. It looks & feels good. My only worry is that it won't be enough for a full sew in.

I'm sorry that I can't help you much; I haven't tried using that type of thread with any needle. I believe that embroidery needles have wider eyes, and top-stitching needles have longer eyes than the denim needles (which are designed primarily to penetrate heavy fabrics.) One of those might work better for you. Good luck!

Yes, this really is for that type of materials. Of course, you still need the proper threads (usually heavy duty nylon) and very heavy duty needles (18 or 20). I would seriously advise you to sew on scraps (or similar weights) to set tension and make sure you're getting a good stitch before you try sewing on your project.

No, I would go to the fabric store and get something that sews in. I've made handbags before and this definitely isn't what you want. I also tried the iron on inside and didn't like the way it looked. (I can't remember what it's called for the life of me! Sorry)

I found the best yarns to use for a tighter stitch are bulky yarns. The gauge on these looms is bigger then a regular gauge loom. You can also use two strands of worsted weight yarn at a time to make a thicker stitch or different stitch techniques to make a tighter stitch with worsted weight yarns.

Make sure your embroidery foot is properly on and screwed onto the machine, if not properly placed on it will break/bend needles. Also there are certain size needles for types of fabric, cotton types use needle size 80/90, for heavier like fleece, layers or quilted items use 100 size. Hope this helps. Also check to make sure your bobbin is not affected, the needle going down can nest in the bobbin and make a big mess in that area.

It might. You have to press the hem first and I think if u put the wire into the pressed hem and then let it feed through the gap, it just might work. If u look on utube for how to sew rolled hem with singer rolled hem foot, you should find out how this foot really works. Best of luck to you.

The widest you can set it.....? I would say 3/8". I'll measure a stitch when I get back to the house this afternoon.

Sorry, I really don't know the answer. If you kept packaging and have name of company you might be able to contact them. Otherwise, buying Velcro and sewing on your self would be my only other solution.
