Does this sewing machine sew straight seams also

Yes it is the same as a sailrite without the hand crank. The sailrite is a little more refined for twice the price.

J. Mugg, This is a 3/4 thread serger. You can sew with one needle or two needles. Though it does not technically sew a straight stitch, this being a 3/4 should do what you need it to do. Thank you,

Yes it does. After reading the other reviews, I was fully prepared to make quilting stitches myself to prevent the movement they complained of. But when the comforter arrived, there was plenty of one inch stitching seams throughout the comforter that should keep the batting in place. The stitches are nicely placed and not really noticeable either. I have not washed it to test, but I usually have these dry cleaned anyway. It is way too bulky to fit in a normal washer.

You will need to read your sewing machine manual to determine . I have a brother and my manual had given suggestions to my machine.

I just wanted it to sew seams. It would not hold a seam. I had to hand stitch the whole project. Defective? Maybe.. But it came with a needle treader and instructions on how to end the seam. Not user friendly, I would not recommend it for anything even bags.

Yes, it can sew on quilts. It seems to do most things that a regular sewing machine does except use electricity!

No, there is one seam that runs the length of it. It also has grid markings on the 'peel off' side for easy indicators for measuring and cutting.

Happy to! Helps tremendously to sew a straight, even seam. Just set it on the needle plate to the right of the needle (the needle plate is the metal piece that the needle goes up and down through the hole and the feed dogs come up under it) place it as far from the needle as you want your line of stitching and it guides the fabric through perfectly as you sew. I absolutely love this thing!!

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.

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 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

I'm so sorry I can't help with this question. I bought this machine to try and teach myself how to sew. so I really don't know anything about sewing or different machines at all. I know I'm in the minority so you should get some answers from qualified people. Good luck.

this machine is very good for beginners and there are many stitches for the advanced sewer and quilter as well. To help my daughter who is a beginner sewer to keep a straight line, we taped masking tape on the top. works great.

No, this is an embroidery only machine. I think Brother has the SE 400 that does regular sewing as well as embroidery

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.

yes, the pre-threaded comes with the machine but in smaller portion. If your wife is doing sewing than you probably need to buy a bigger one. I hope it helps you.

It has a seam, but is very flat. It fit the dryer 4" hose very snug ( without much effort )
