What is the heaviest thread, in tex, that this machine is designed for?

I haven't tested all thread. T-40 will be safe. Topstitching threads are also fine with an appropriate topstitching needle. Also when using heavier threads decrease the top tension and if using it in the bobbin, it may also need adjusting. Usually I keep two bobbin cases on hand, one specifically for T-50 and the other for specialty threads or heavier threads. I only use this machine for travel or just straight sewing. My answer applies to most home sewing machines with removeable bobbin cases. Happy Stitchin', BAMAY

the machine weighs 11 lbs. my repair man said it wouldn't sew thru heavy weight or layers, but it sews fine thru 2 layers of cotton with batting or a heavy interface. I love it!

I ordered Polyester Thread Sets - 40 Spools - 1000M - 40 wt. by Threadart on Amazon and it is great for embroidery. Cost is $39.99. The only problem I have is that the thread gets tangled on spool holder but I put the spool of thread on the table and it works fine. I'm still in the learning curve as I've only had the machine about 3 months and haven't had much time to spend learning it. Hope this helps.

I was wondering the same thing. I need to order this as a technical machine for a developer and can't place the order unless it's a 16 as stated in the title :/

I/8" aluminum is way over the capacity of this machine. Don't bother trying.

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with thread sizes. Hope someone else can help with your question.

It has 1/4-20 threads. I mounted my quick release plate onto the bottom. I LOVE this cage!!!

Sorry...5/8 threaded and 7/8 unthreaded. See http://documents.dewalt.com/documents/English/Instruction%20Manual/N208732,D28112.pdf

This thread is for sewing machine or hand sewing. It is not for embroidery. I have this and it works good for me.

Yes, it's like a heavy thread, and I haven't used it yet because it wasn't what I needed. I was looking for a heavier twine. It should fuse well though.

Hard to tell. The thread is actually composed of spring wire wrapped in plastic.

The thread is very thin and difficult to work with. I could not get it to work in my serger and I can get a lot of different kinds of threads to work in my serger but this thread was a no go no matter what I did with the tension. I would not recommend this thread.

We regularly use ours to print on 130# cover without problems as long as it's fed through the rear slot one by one. This is one of two printers we've found that can handle the very heavy weight of our paper!

I have rarely had thread bunching up at the pressure plate--unless it was something I did (wrong fabric stabilizer combination or need of new needle) make sure you are using a standing thread guide with a net on the spool--adjust your speed to the project(this singer model messes up if to fast for project) I use it at around p letter in Speed for heavy projects if your doing light fills for light stitching you can speed up a bit(and works better for that and may solve any loops on top when your light stitching----make sure your machine is threaded correctly and the bobbin is in correctly --that could also cause the bunching problem-----hope this helps--pat

As a threadlocker maybe but as a glue forget it. It's very brittle and breaks it's bond upon shock. If I was looking for a threadlocker I would stick with the 242 over this.
