Can you make socks with this machine?

I would not make socks with this, but I'm sure you could. I've seen many reviews from people that were not able to use the machine but it takes patience to learn and a lot of practice. I wouldn't really call this a machine, it's more like a loom, you are still doing all the work. I've made blankets, bags, sweaters and cowl/scarfs.

Yes you can use them for other things but they are thicker than regular socks.

I would not sew leather with this machine. You could do two layers of very light leather, but I would not advise this if you have another machine. It is working with stress with four layers of cotton. I use my old Kenmore for light leather and my heavier machines for serious leather applications. This machine's forte is the multiple stitches and needle placements available not its strength.

We used the machine only with medium weight cottons, and my purpose for getting the machine was for my granddaughter to learn to sew and make clothes for her dolls.The instructions say that the machine is not for use with heavy weight fabrics so if I were in need of a machine to sew on denim and fleece etc I would not buy this one. The motor is too small I think.This little machine does not have a way to oil it so cannot imagine that it will hold up for heavy use. Also, this is a very small machine so it would be difficult to use for big projects.

Yes it can. The instruction booklet comes with instructions on how to do that. I truly love this machine.

Depends on foot size. If you have small feet yes, but if you have normal size feet you could do maybe 1 foot at a time. I would suggest a plastic sweater box to soak feet they are more rectangular shaped.

You can make anything! The consistency is like a slurpee, ver, very fine. It's a great machine!

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.

Yes you can use a walking foot for quilting and all home sewing projects. The walking foot will need to be an industrial type for the 20U series machine.

The manual says you can, but I never tried to.I really can't recommend this machine.

Having never used a sewing machine I can only answer with an opinion. First it is highly unlikely that the sewing would fall off the risers or become unstable. If you require the same level if solid stability you have with the machine on the floor, then I feel it is unlikely to work for you. It will also depend on if the wheels have solid locking mechanism's. If the wheels do not lock there will be more movement. I hope this round about answer is helpful.

Yes you can. I have the machine and the free motion foot included. Please let me know if interested. Thanks Sammy sewingmachineoutlet

I wondered the same thing about my Brother Sewing Machine, I went on google to find out what sew machines would best fit the Gathering Foot and, there was the answer. It gave so much information about the subject.

Sorry I don't know. But if you've got something that works purchase another of that one and use it for traveling. The devil you know concept. About the other answer, I found that if you put the open end of the hoisery to the very end of the opening and bunch the excess up by the top and pull even long(er) socks slip on with very little manual help.

Yes you can, I did it sometimes but I used it more to make a flour for ma home made bread :-)

You can do either. I sewed some with machine and some by hand. It turned out great.

Yes- I did that for my granddaughter. It fits very nicely under the sewing machine foot and sews together very well.
