I can do hem jean with this machine ?

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.

This foot is the one you use like a serger, it does not cut the fabric like a serger, but it allows you to sew an interlocking hem along a raw edge. I use it all the time for hems. You will need to refer to your owners manual for the correct setting to get an OVERCAST stitch. I think it will fit as long as you have the snap on type foot gizmo. I have a singer and it works just fine. BTW this was a good price for it too

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.

It is a full fledged sewing machine... Just not the most hearty one I've seen. I wouldn't go sewing denim.

The SINGER CG590 sewing machine can be used to sew garment weight leather. Use a SINGER Leather needle, which has a wedge point designed for sewing leather. For sewing through leather such as that used for belts, etc., an industrial machine is recommended.

The machine works well, the real question is 'do you work well with stretch fabrics?'...

I love my Janome magnolia sewing machine, but I don't think that I would try making denim clothes on it, unless I would perhaps serge first and then press to one side and top-stitch the fabric. I would certainly proceed with caution with any machine though and be sure to use the appropriate needle. Hope this helps.

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

Hello! This is a simple straight-forward sewing machine. Easy drop-in bobbin (you don't have to wind bobbin separately on top of machine). It does have different stitches to choose from, it's lightweight although not "toy-like". I would NOT use this for sewing a heavy fabric, like denim. It would be great for craft projects, sewing hems and the like. Hope this helps you! Your mom's 89 and still wants to sew..."GO, MOM!!!"

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. :)

While you can do that, the manual gives specific instructions on how to remove the thread, and it is more like a sewing machine in that sense. However, unlike a sewing machine where the tension is released automatically by raising the presser foot, on this machine, raising the presser foot does not automatically release the tension. In order to do this, you have to push the tension release buttons on each applicable thread and pull at the same time. It takes some practice, but it can be done. Before I figured it out, I did just what you described. This works, but for hemming you may have some problems. If you don't release the tension, you will have to sew a stitch diagonally and then rip it out in order to preserve the clean hem line. This will weaken the stitch because you won't have enough thread to tie it off. You may end up having to redo it. Also, if you lift the presser foot and try to move the fabric, without releasing the tension, you may rip the thread, which again will weaken it. So, the answer is yes and no. You can do it that way, but you may run into some issues if you're hemming. Better to follow the directions. You'll get the hang of it.

I have had very good success, especially in machine applique in quilting. Not sure about apparel unless you are applique work. Don't use it for seams. It's for decorative purposes.

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.

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.

This would be fantastic if you wanted to use it for sewing, so don't hesitate to use it because I do and so doe's my wife!

That's exactly what I used it for. No sewing machines here... Just needed good thread for mending little hem tears, etc.

Sounds like a good idea. Try it. Access to a sewing machine would be really handy.
