Can you do twin needle sewing with this machine?

I believe that you can. It comes with a throat plate for zigzag sewing so should be able to handle twin needles.

Yes, you must thread it yourself the old fashioned way! I have three sergers, an Elna and two brothers and I have never seen a conventional needle threader on a serger. It's probably because it would be difficult or impossible to make one that would thread two needles next to each other. There are some sergers, (high end Brothers, I think) that claim to thread themselves using some kind of air puff system, or something, but I've never seen one in action and I don't know if even they thread the needles, or just the loopers. This is a very nice serger by the way, and I use it in preference to my higher end Elna all the time.

Barbara....I have used a regular sewing achine for years, and I would not recommend anyone to purchase this contraption,..difficult to use, and broke after several attempts....a good idea that failed.

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

I have never tried it on a regular sewing machine but I don't think it would sew the same.

At my sewing classes I was told that if you buy the right needle, it can sew through leather. It's a very heavy, substantial machine, so i expect it would do just fine.

Yes you can. I made a slipcover for my sofa & used a regular sewing machine for the whole thing. Hope this helps ... good luck!!

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.

I haven't tried this particular size needle and brand of thread but I don't see why it wouldn't work. I use it with embroidery thread all the time. It even works well with 2 strands of thread. It's save me hours of time.

Short answer: NO! I bought this for my granddaughter who was seven at the time. You would think the manufacturers would make it simple so that a child could use it. Three adults, including me, and I have been sewing since I was ten, could not even figure out how to thread it. When we finally thought we had it right, the needle wouldn't move. We packed it up and returned it. Very disappointing as it was a Christmas present. It's better to buy a Brother or Singer made for adults. Hope this helps.

This machine is only set up for thread. Yarn would get bogged down in the bobbin case. You should look at commercial sewing machines to use with yarn. :)

The machine has the capability to do buttonholes but you would have to purchase a separate buttonhole foot. It doesn't come with one.

You can use any sewing machine for piecing your quilt together. You need a special machine to "quilt" it. Your machine just needs to go forward and backward. I bought this machine for my 10 year old granddaughter for Christmas this year because of the reviews. I hope this helps.

I have not. I would prefer to do something like that on sewing machine alone since it would be easier to control
