Will this machine sew on jean material?

Yes it will. Refer to the sewing guide, fabric is heavyweight, needle size would be #100/16, thread: cotton 40-50 Mercerized Heavy Duty, Polyester Long Fiber.

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.

I hem my husband's jeans on this one, and use it to sew on my uniform patches. I use a heavy needles & set the tension high, and it works just fine.

More important than the material, is the needle and the thread. You need to use either size 16 or 18 needle for denim and heavy materials. Slow down the speed when sewing, this is not the top of the line, heavy duty machine. Going too fast can break needles, thread, even gears inside.

Good day. Yes you may use leather but have to be thin.The blade that comes with the machine is good for clothes,plastic and not real thick leather.I suggest that the use of a thicker standard needle will be need for leather.Also the use of only one needle in step of the two will make the job easier and a strong polyester or nylon spools to make strong threads.Then some practice and the recommended settings on the chart will do the best.High quality spools is highly recommended. That's it......

I haven't tried yet, since I just got my machine. While I was researching machines I found a you tube video demonstrating sewing a seam like jeans have on denim and then he folded it up twice like a hem and it sewed great.

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

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

I wouldnt know as the button hasnt feel off yet but i would assume there would be a tiny hole if piercing completely fresh fabric.. i just used the same hole that my previous Jean button fell out from

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.

It is a full fledged sewing machine... Just not the most hearty one I've seen. I wouldn't go sewing denim.

I have not sewn leather on this machine, but it goes through multiple layers of denim like a dream. It's fast too. Great machine.

If this will be your only sewing machine, I wouldn't recommend it for dressmaking, as it only does straight stitch. Therefore you cannot do buttonholes, blind hemstitch, overcasting,etc. I would definitely use it for home dec purposes like draperies and slipcovers because of the larger size and higher speed.

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 only used this machine on lightweight cottons so far. You may have to adjust the tension if your jeans are very heavy.

No. You turn knobs to change the stitch length or presser foot pressure; push a button for needle up/down; push a button for automatic needle threading; lift a lever to raise or lower the presser foot (or press your knee against the knee lever); hold a lever down while you stitch to go in reverse for a back stitch; push a button (or press your heel on the foot pedal) to cut the thread and raise the foot. It only does a straight stitch so there's not really anything to computerize. The machine is all metal (even the bobbins) not plastic, industrial strength, and sews like a dream.
