Would this be used for sewing purposes?

Hi Angela, The one that I bought is being used for display. It's proportions have been very consistent with a woman's size small throughout a few different brand names and clothing styles, so I feel like it's probably a pretty good model for sewing. I don't sew, but I could imagine that you'd need an average and proportional model that you can stick pins in, and this lady is that!

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.

I don't see why not. That is an interesting use for it. You might want to adjust the stitch length to correspond to the distance between holes.

It won't stick to fabrics well enough to use. But if you have a needle and thread, there is no reason you couldn't put a few stitches on each side!

It would definitely sew soft leather such as that used in clothing,etc, but probably not shoe type leather. I think they make a smooth foot that should be used when sewing leather to keep from scratching the leather with the standard ribbed walking foot. Hope this helps.

Sure. I use it for a sewing table and it is awesome. I bought it for the huge amount of storage underneath for my sewing fabrics. It's very sturdy. I love mine.

I would not think it would. There is a tape that is made for hems. It used to be called Stitch Witchery but not sure what they calle it now. You can get it at most retail stores in the fabric department. You have to iron it on and it bonds one side of the material to the other. When the heat hits it, it basically turns to a glue, and that can be washed several times.

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.

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.

It does indeed do basic sewing, just be careful when threading the bobbin since it takes several tries for it to grab when pulling the thread back through the plate

They are flexible, but I don't know how well they'd work in sewing projects. You'd have to try it and see.

It won't be the prettiest closure seams if you do, but you would be able to sew it. If a home sewing machine can't handle it, take it to somewhere that does alterations or an upholstery shop. Their industrial machines should have no issue with it and they can probably put a nice finished edge on it too.

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

I don't think that would be a good idea. The textile is light weight, woven and nylon or polymer-based. It's thicker than rip-stop nylon tarps are but it's loose knit would almost certainly result in fraying if cut. Unless of course you're good with an industrial sewing machine? The bound edges are heavy duty to resist the tensioning. You would have to replicate this if you were to cut it. I'd recommend just buying the smaller versions which are also available at your local home supply.

I think this might be a felting machine, like Simplicity's deluxe felting machine, so you could probably use any fabric that would be suitable for needle felting (fleece, felt, bulky knits, etc.).

I have not used on sewing machine, but do not see why not. both are small motors and it is make for that, and good amount of oil in the bottle.

I have not had a problem using my machine for that type of fabric. I did small projects though. I would say so long as you are using the right thread, needle and tension you should be ok.
