Is this for real? Does it really sew?

It does indeed do basic sewing, just be careful when threading the bobbin since it takes several tries for it to grab when pulling the thread back through the plate

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

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.

No, I would go to the fabric store and get something that sews in. I've made handbags before and this definitely isn't what you want. I also tried the iron on inside and didn't like the way it looked. (I can't remember what it's called for the life of me! Sorry)

Izzy, if you can thread a sewing machine, you can thread this machine. I carefully followed the directions in the booklet and to my surprise I got it on the first try. I also took the beginning serger class on Craftsy.com which helped. The difficulty with threading the machine is tight space. But with the tweezers its manageable. I would do it when you have an hour of uninterrupted time to concentrate on it the task at hand. Then go step by step. I never used a serger before. I was very leery when I started, but it was easier than I thought. I think this is a good basic machine for beginning to use a serger. I made a simple knit skirt using the serger. It was fast and I got a good result. I really recommend the Craftsy class which I watched prior to using my machine. Hope this helps.

This can be sewn but since this is used mostly for wrapping, I guess I would ask what are you trying to use it for??

You still have to test sew any new fabric. It will also take adjusting the tensions. In short, it will, but you also need to learn the machine, what it does and how to adjust it. Nothing is automatic on sergers.

No, I sewed some on. There is a way to put them on without sewing, but I could never figure it out. Cabelas tried to explain it to me and you might find some help there. I used monofilament line and it works fine.

No, it isn't. But I haven't had any problems sewing both denim and silk charmeuse.

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

I don't know what u r planning to sew. I wanted to sew leather & I bought HD machine. It works great & I love it. I do sew fabric too but I bought it to sew leather & it was perfect for my projects.

It's plastic tape. I am no expert on sewing, but I would think the tape would just tear at the holes.

Yes - the pic is pretty true to life. But it's not meant for heavy fabrics. FYI. Over all a great, little, quick fix.

Mine was genuine. I put it in a 1920's floor reading lamp which suites my Victorian home better than something modern and use it for hand sewing.

Barbara....I have used a regular sewing achine for years, and I would not recommend anyone to purchase this contraption,..difficult to use, and broke after several attempts....a good idea that failed.
