Is this machine sturdy enough to do a few layers of denim?

the machine has only been used on two layers of thick cotton and worked well.

If this is the type of printer/scanner you'd buy from Office Max, etc., then yes, it is sturdy enough. It is a pretty solid cabinet.

so far I haven't done anything with denim, but I do quilt and have sewn thru several layers of fabric and batting without difficulty

I have only used it on cotton fabrics so far but I searched on line and saw several people say they have used it on very heavy fabrics and denim and that it should sew any heavy fabric.

Yes, as long it's not 10 pair of wet blue jeans. It is not a handrail, but it is sturdy. It does bend when you lean on it.

Hi. I'm sorry--I bought it for a gift and didn't really see it for long. I don't think it is as heavy as real denim--more like a chambray. It was very fun without being too "cutesy" and nice for the price.

Yeah but it'd be kind if awkward I think. But yeah the resistance works either way. I don't recommend the machine for really hard core workouts. It will only hold up for light use.

I have used it to sew several thickness of outdoor plastic mesh fabric for fence panels with no problem using heavy duty outdoor thread. It was four layers with a layer of interface. It should accommodate 2-3 layers of denim or canvas.

We have sewed multiple layers of fabric perfectly and we have sew some leather projects on this machine. Although I would not use this machine constantly to do leather or super thick layers

Not at all. I have my printer on it and it's very sturdy. I would think with the weight of a sewing machine, it would be very sturdy.

To be honest, I haven't been thrilled with it's performance on heavier materials. It usually performs adequately, but seems to struggle when I have sewn several layers of material, especially when they are heavy like duck cloth. This particular machine really is designed for average consumer use, not industrial.

I have been working with this machine for about a week, and really like it for what it can do. However, it does have a bit of a difficulty getting over thick portions of the fabric.....where two seams intersect, etc. For this reason, I would assume that it might have a difficult time with thicker fabrics. I've learned that when I must sew over the intersection of seams, I must go very slowly. Then, it's pretty good.

Yes. Just be sure to purchase a needle specific for sewing heavy fabrics like denim.

The table is sturdy. If you're talking about a home sewing machine, no problem.

Hi Mikal, It's not really made for the heavy fabrics but if you call the store toll free 800-442-8227 and ask for Paul. He can get you in the best machine for your needs. Thanks, Scott

This Brother should work great for all your basic & even intermediate sewing needs. I quilt regularly with it, just make sure you use a quilting foot & an appropriate needle for your materials.
