Does it sew heavy material well like it shows in video?

You still have to test sew any new fabric. It will also take adjusting the tensions. In short, it will, but you also need to learn the machine, what it does and how to adjust it. Nothing is automatic on sergers.

Yes - the pic is pretty true to life. But it's not meant for heavy fabrics. FYI. Over all a great, little, quick fix.

Yeah, you can! I've made a couple of vests from the stuff I got, it holds up well to sewing. At one point I tried fastening eyelets through it, though, and that doesn't work too well unless you punch it really securely. The fabric likes to loosen up around those parts and the eyelets ended up falling out. Still, though, I like it a lot.

I've sewn over 5 layers of cotton duck with no problems. Sewing was super smooth.

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.

yes it does work the same although the quality isnt quite as good as some, so just double check your recording before u sew it in your bear and you will be fine

Yes it will. However it does depend on the thickness of the material. There are plenty of youtube and blog videos that will show you what has been successful.

It takes a little work to figure out how to make the adjustments, but once you do it works great. I've even used it on upholstery fabric (the heavier weight cottons), and it does a good job. I've used all these presser feet and they make sewing much easier. This is a great kit, I've bought several and use them all the time.

I can't tell you anything about Pfaff because I have never owned a Pfaff. When I bought the Janome HD3000 I was looking for a heavy duty sewing machine that would sew through layered heavy fabrics, such as denim, etc. I had a Singer at the time, and had always owned Singers, and had noticed that with each new Singer I bought, the quality was less than the previous Singer. I don't know what happened to Singer, but in my opinion they have put out a less and less quality product over the past 10 to 15 years. The question I asked in my search engine was something like "what is a good heavy duty sewing machine". That led me to a demonstration video where I watched someone using the Janome to sew through the depth of fabric layers that I needed. And when I bought the machine, it worked just like in the video. It sails through layers of fabric that used to invariably tangle up and stop the Singer.

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.

Based on my experience, I would say no. It struggled being able to cut properly through a piece of paper about double the thickness of typical computer paper. I doubt it can handle even the thinnest of fabrics.

It is a sturdy machine it sews very well and I feel it will sew almost all fabrics. I know it will sew denim.

Not sure. I don't sew. This has a backing that is quite thick (side that adheres to fabric with heat) and I'm not sure how easy it would be to work with.

I think you have to use the same type fabric it comes with. It doesn't really "sew together" you can pull it apart. Theres no actual thread. But it does hold good. My daughter made a little cape for her American girl doll and it is holding up good.

I have been working with this machine for about a week, and really like it for what it can do. However, it does have a bit of a difficulty getting over thick portions of the fabric.....where two seams intersect, etc. For this reason, I would assume that it might have a difficult time with thicker fabrics. I've learned that when I must sew over the intersection of seams, I must go very slowly. Then, it's pretty good.

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.

Yes and it will sew beautifully. You will need to unscrew the snap on and then screw this one on and it will work like a dream. To gather you will need to place the fabric under the pressure foot and just sew. To gather AND see you will need to place one material under the foot and the piece you are attaching it to between the slot and sew. It will gather as you see. I love mine. The ruffler is cool to have too!
