Will it sew fleece, polyester, rayon?

We bought the machine for our daughter, who sews dog collars- 2 layers of cotton webb, hemp or polyester webbing plus 2 layers of decorative ribbon. It sews through all the layers without a problem. She has also sewn 2 layers of jacket lining & it was fine. Something you might want to do is check out a Janome dealer, who might have machines to try out.

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.

I don't think so. I have sewn a few layers of jean, but I think that is far as it will go. If you are going to be doing a lot of leather sewing, I would suggest finding an old vintage machine. Or if you can afford it, an industrial sewing machine.

I have cut fleece on this and it works fine. You would have to fold the fabric for that length and with the width it would be tricky.

Yes, this really is for that type of materials. Of course, you still need the proper threads (usually heavy duty nylon) and very heavy duty needles (18 or 20). I would seriously advise you to sew on scraps (or similar weights) to set tension and make sure you're getting a good stitch before you try sewing on your project.

No. 100% polyester. You Don't want to use cotton thread as it tends to shrink material when washed (we were told that by local sewing center).

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.

To answer your question, YES. It will sew through leather without a problem. I have 2 of these electric motors, one on my single needle Consew and the other on my double needle Singer. It makes sewing on an industrial machine just as easy as sewing on a home light duty machine. Use the pulley provided and the machine will sew one stitch at a time or at full speed if you can work that fast.

Never try it on fabrics, imagine using hot burnt metal to cut fabrics. However, i guess it can do the trick, try it and let me know.

Should work. If you have a hole for a screw on the sewing plate, then it will work!

I think it would. It is bonded nylon so is less sun sensitive than poly thread. It runs through my machine well.

It sure will! It works best on fabrics. You'll be amazed. I have to use mine for a long-haired cat. Yuck!

It depends on the material, if it is denim, nylon, silk, polyester, polyester blend or heavy material, no. otherwise I don't know.

Yes it will. If you like a really full weave then you may need 4 rolls instead of 3 which this comes in.

Not cotton or silk. Doesn't stretch either, so it must be polyester. It is easy to sew.

I would think so, but of course it would not have the same look/fit. But for quaility of the product, fabric and sewing, it can't be beat.

Yes,I have used it to sew a quilt top together because it stitches a seam and overlocks at the same time. It is especially good for knit fabric. :-)
