It is a sturdy machine it sews very well and I feel it will sew almost all fabrics. I know it will sew denim.

I never found any info on what the max load for the machine was, but we regular used well over 200 pounds without issue. Several people trained with me on this machine, so it got a lot of use and was very versatile.

I have used this machine to hem denim jeans, sew through several layers of corduroy, and quilt with no problem. I do use different feet for different projects, which helps feed the fabric through more easily, and I do lift the foot when going over a very thick seam to help it feed through manually. I love this sewing machine! I have had no issues with plastic vs. metal gears so far.

It all depends on what you're putting in the washer. As long as you don't exceed the load capacity of 11.02 lbs you should be OK. This washer works best when the clothes are loaded loosely in the machine.

The most it can hold is about 22oz. The heavier it is, the fabric would tend to tear.

While I haven't actually weighed it, it can easily be filled to the top with clothes. Probably 20-40 lbs, according to the boyfriend. It's pretty sturdy and well fashioned and holds its shape when full, too. I wouldn't anticipate the fabric ripping or anything along those lines, especially if you're using it with laundry. The cotton canvas is pretty decently thick. Hope this helps!

Not sure. I have hernia and awaiting surgery. I'm wearing a belt and keeping it light but had a max of 130# and its pretty sturdy and smooth. I don't think it is meant for really heavy weight. Sorry I couldn't provide more info.

Holly,The website and paperwork say it is good for up to 300 lbs. My wife and I both use this machine and I weigh in at about 275 lbs and have no problem with the machine.

I recently purchased this treadmill, and it arrived last week. I have had the opportunity to run on it, and it seems VERY sturdy. I am a 200 pound guy, and it can handle me with ease. One of the reasons I purchased this machine is because it weighs around 300 pounds. I felt that would give the treadmill more of a commercial quality feel. In my opinion, this is a very heavy duty machine that will easily handle your weight.

The SINGER 8763 Curvy computerized sewing machine is capable of sewing heavier fabrics such as denim, canvas, twill, duck cloth, etc. It is recommended that you also use a needle that is designed for sewing heavier fabrics, such as a SINGER needle size 16, or possibly size 18, depending on the weight or thickness of the fabric being sewn. The instruction manual also includes a Needle/Fabric/Thread recommendation chart for your convenience.

I love this machine. I have done some light quilting so I think it should sew denim but can't swear to it. I purchased for quilt classes due to its light weight. Hope that helps a bit.

300 pounds. Though, I will be honest. When I started using it, I was about 330 and the machine held up fine.

It is a pretty heavy duty table. I compared the one at SAMs and it is really light weight. I don't know if a sewing machine would bounce up and down. I am using it for my goods at the farmers market.

the heaviest part is the motor/blower assembly and guessing it is close to 60 - 70lbs but this is one fine machine. I have an entire woodshop including a planer and there are no problems with its performance.

These machines are not built for hvy use. 250 # is probable the very max. I loaned mine to a friend who weighs over 200# and the trans axle broke. I suggest buying a sturdier machine.

This machine is very large and heavy. We moved it, but it took a couple of people. I ended up giving it to my son who has more room for it.

I think that the only way for your use would be to make sure the fabric is pulled taut. But, personally, I think this is too heavy handed for your use. I'd put the money into something lighter.
