can I sew heavier cloths on it such as making a jeans hem

I would not try sewing heavy denim with this machine. Material such as denim would require a more heavy duty needle and a bit more power. However, if it was a denim/spandex blend that you see in dress jeans, I would not hesitate because this fabric tends to be thinner and used for fashion not function. Hope this helps. Joy

Sure you could...either hem with needle and thread or use duct tape. Will look like crap but it could work if you don't care what it looks like. BTW...this is not a very large blanket so if cut in half will be very small / short. Would not recommend doing this unless you have a very compelling reason to alter the blanket.

More important than the material, is the needle and the thread. You need to use either size 16 or 18 needle for denim and heavy materials. Slow down the speed when sewing, this is not the top of the line, heavy duty machine. Going too fast can break needles, thread, even gears inside.

I use mine to hem pants to make aprons. I use it for all of my sewing needs so I would think that you would be fine with it.

I have not tried to do that, don't know how it would respond to an iron. If I did I would probably just butt the two sides together and do a wide zig zag to sew the two pieces together.

You could, but you would need to be careful as the center bends a bit due to the cloth.

Yes....it can definitely sew denim on the correct setting. I haven't sewn velvet but it has various settings to sew thicker materials. I am currently sewing outdoor cushions and it is handling the fabric very well. I've also sewn vinyl and it did a great job.

I have hemmed light-weight denim with it. I wouldn't be afraid to hem regular jeans with it, but I would use a denim needle and a longer stitch, go very slowly, and put something under the back of the presser foot when you come to the seams so that it sits flat and stresses the needle less. They sell a little tool for that, but I've seen tutorials where they just roll up fabric.

You actually can sew it....I did when I had to join two sections together. Be sure to use heavy duty needles if you sew it yourself.

Sewing machine needles are pretty much universal. This one is good for heavier fabrics - not just denim.

No, this would be a great fabric to use. My regular old Brother sewing machine had no problems sewing this material

I can get a fairly large load but it depends what I wash. Towels and things I don't want to iron take a lot of line but socks, tees and undies can be pinned close together.

Yes it has pleanty of power for jeans .You will need some heavy needles though .

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.

I do a lot of hemming and alterations, evan tried triple layer denim ,works fine for me. If you have dexterous hands I imagine it should work.

I also sew - the board bends a bit. I'd be reluctant to apply too much pressure. I use my regular board that is set up in my sewing room.
