Will I need to buy 3 to 4 cones of thread just to hem a garment?

No...just wind some thread onto some bobbins and put them on the spindles instead of entire cones...at least, that's what I do. You can buy larger bobbins for industrial machines that will hold more thread and you won't run out in the middle of a project like I have done before on the smaller bobbins. It doesn't matter what kind of bobbins you use as long as they fit on the spindles.

Buy the Rousseau standard set of red+grey+pin (#3509-IR) and "rout" them the size you need. Rousseau sells them for $9.00+ about $2.50 shipping.

No, I think you will have problems. I have 2 5/8 inch spools on mine. It is barely adequate for that size. Think the 33 spool size is better because spindles are longer for the larger cones. I have both. Use Mega for storage only.

Sure you could...either hem with needle and thread or use duct tape. Will look like crap but it could work if you don't care what it looks like. BTW...this is not a very large blanket so if cut in half will be very small / short. Would not recommend doing this unless you have a very compelling reason to alter the blanket.

The sides are finished and should not fray unless cut. It was very easy to use staplegun to fasten to wood. If you need to add grommets to allow fastening to other material, fabric seems like it would work well. If you did choose to hem, it would be easy to sew any size hem (even very small) if you wanted to reinforce. But with uniform stretching and stapling, it should work well for your purpose. I had material up in AZ sun for 6 months and it is still like brand new.

Yes you can use regular thread. And you can bring this machine to any sewing store which service sewing machine.

That will be dependent on your needle, as far as the machine itself, the best investment we have made with amazon, we sew clothing, canvas bags, sheets and drapes, and just about anything friends of ours can tear, will handle everything from silks to denim no problem, if you want to stich leather get the right needle, watch your speed and go

I have hemmed light-weight denim with it. I wouldn't be afraid to hem regular jeans with it, but I would use a denim needle and a longer stitch, go very slowly, and put something under the back of the presser foot when you come to the seams so that it sits flat and stresses the needle less. They sell a little tool for that, but I've seen tutorials where they just roll up fabric.

These are excellent thread and will fit most modern machines. They are cotton so there is an increase of lint and "fuzz" in your bobbin case so you will need to keep the bobbin case wiped out depending on the amount of sewing you do. I would recommend at lease very project or so. along with the bobbin case, you machine will need to be cleaned out professionally every year because of the lint.

I don't think so. I have sewn a few layers of jean, but I think that is far as it will go. If you are going to be doing a lot of leather sewing, I would suggest finding an old vintage machine. Or if you can afford it, an industrial sewing machine.

yes I do! but you have to make sure you use a denim needle and it should be a new needle---replaced everytime you have a denim job to do. a big part of the reason I bought it was to hem my jeans.... hope this helps!!

I believe the thread will work well for you however, there is no thread stand that comes with it.

Instead of cutting them, I would turn under the ends to get the required length. Fabric might fray otherwise.

yes you can arrange the fabric and only cut one circle size just make sure you have covered the correct area, and it should work well. did for me!

The stitching for this collection is similar to the color you would find used for hems on traditional denim jeans. Of course if you purchase it and are not satisfied you can return it with Amazon's A to Z guarantee. Thank you for your inquiry. Pricepetals.

Hello - I generally buy a cotton/poly blend - it is durable and quite easily found. Coates & Clarke is a vey well known brand. It would also help if you knew what kind of projects she might be undertaking...the weight of the thread varies with the task. I just googled "Brand names for sewing Threads"and there were a variety of experts writing on the subject if you want to take the exploration further...Good luck!
