can it be machine sewn, such as for an apron?

I use if for machine applique. I would think and apron would be ok but uncomfortable for use as the entire apron. It is thick like an oil cloth.

Hi Anna, yes this mannequin is covered in fabric which will allow you to sew on it if needed. I hope this helps.

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

I don't know very much about embroidery, but the fabric is your basic canvas with some coating material so I would think that it would be okay for hand embroidery, but might not be sturdy enough for machine embroidery. The dimensions were a little smaller than I anticipated, so designs would have to be fairly small.

Trisha, Buttonholes can not be done on this machine. This is an Embroidery Only machine. Thank you,

I don't see why not. It's a heavy weight fabric, but could probably be cut easily with a scissors or an Exacto knife. it will probably fray a little, if that's a problem.

You can make a buttonhole with it but it does not have a buttonhole feature on the machine. This is a very basic machine but does sew well.

Not that I'm aware of. I bought a heavy duty zipper and used a sewing machine. I've been through a couple and the always seem to break.

Yes, the sewing machine can sew with a variety of needle sizes and thread thicknesses including standard thread found at fabric stores. Thread tension will have to be adjusted to appropriately handle the lighter threads. Also, recognize that this machine will have a much heavier "industrial" feel to it than the standard household sewing machine and it offers only straight and zig-zag stitches. Although the needles can easily be found online, your daughter may not be able to find the appropriate needles at her local fabric store. A more refined and customized version of this machine is sold by Sail Rite and is called the LSZ1. The Sail Rite website will include numerous videos which will fully detail the capabilities of this machine.

No. It's made to thin the edges on leather around the area you are sewing togeather

Yeah, you can! I've made a couple of vests from the stuff I got, it holds up well to sewing. At one point I tried fastening eyelets through it, though, and that doesn't work too well unless you punch it really securely. The fabric likes to loosen up around those parts and the eyelets ended up falling out. Still, though, I like it a lot.

No it's not but if you need to adjust length it can be done easily with sewing machine &#128522;

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.

Not that I know of. It would be nice if it were lined. If you know someone handy with a sewing machine you could have them some somthing on it.

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.

I would say yes, if you were ambitious enough and good with sewing. It is however, not made to be removed. Fairly inexpensive if you wanted to try it I guess. Honestly, I wouldn't know though. It is sewn all the way around and through the middle in several places.
