Can this machine easily sew heavier material like cotton canvas?

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.

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.

Thanks for your question. Yes It is a great machine that will work on any light or even heavy duty work. Perfect for all your every day mending, and for any sewing projects.

No, it is an industrial straight stitch machine. No frills. I use it for home decor sewing (pillow covers, window treatments, shower curtains, and tablecloths).

I've never tried fabric, but it does cut thick card stock and thinner cardboard.

I've sewn through 4 layers of denim using the appropriate needle for heavy fabrics. The machine can handle up to 15/64" thickness of material. For stretch fabrics, there is a particular needle and stitch patterns for stretch and elastic sewing.

Yes, it can sew on quilts. It seems to do most things that a regular sewing machine does except use electricity!

Based on my experience, I would say no. It struggled being able to cut properly through a piece of paper about double the thickness of typical computer paper. I doubt it can handle even the thinnest of fabrics.

It folds in quarters = approximately 14 x 10-1/2 x 1" thick when compressed. I don't sew, but the sides like seam binding so I think it could be done.When using a steam iron, I have found that the steam soaks thru the cloth.

The SINGER 3232 Simple sewing machine can be used to sew a whole variety of fabric thicknesses. When sewing something like a patch, be sure to use a sewing machine needle that is appropriately sized for the weight and thickness of the fabrics, such as a SINGER style 2020 needle, in at least size 16.

yes, of course, that depends on the thickness of the leather. I have been very pleased with this sewing machine.

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.

I have never tried it on a regular sewing machine but I don't think it would sew the same.

It will cut it easily. I've cut thicker material but if you plan on cutting a lot of heavy material you may consider a bigger machine.

We used the machine only with medium weight cottons, and my purpose for getting the machine was for my granddaughter to learn to sew and make clothes for her dolls.The instructions say that the machine is not for use with heavy weight fabrics so if I were in need of a machine to sew on denim and fleece etc I would not buy this one. The motor is too small I think.This little machine does not have a way to oil it so cannot imagine that it will hold up for heavy use. Also, this is a very small machine so it would be difficult to use for big projects.

I have used this machine on felted pieces that are very thick with cotton fabric felted between the layers. You do not have to use the pressure foot on really thick pieces, just note that it is rather "free" style and you need to move the piece as you felt with this machine. I use this felting machine a great deal. I make felted clothing as well as scarves and purses and seal the edges and seams with the simplicity felting machine. Hope that this helps:-)
