NO - I had difficulty with this machine sewing sewing on anything i wouldn't reccomend it at all. my Janome hd3000 does very well on heavier fabrics (up to a point) you really need for the very heaviest an industrial mach. i have a very good Singer industrial.

This would be fantastic if you wanted to use it for sewing, so don't hesitate to use it because I do and so doe's my wife!

You might be able to do a little with leather sneakers buy i do not think it would work on cloth.

I did not have any problem using the thread in my sewing machine. It worked well on denim and regular cloth.

Hi Mikal, It's not really made for the heavy fabrics but if you call the store toll free 800-442-8227 and ask for Paul. He can get you in the best machine for your needs. Thanks, Scott

The SINGER CG590 sewing machine can be used to sew garment weight leather. Use a SINGER Leather needle, which has a wedge point designed for sewing leather. For sewing through leather such as that used for belts, etc., an industrial machine is recommended.

I am not certain, don't think so, I used it on smoother leather furniture. They do have a spray version for fabric type articles, cannot remember the name, but it is Obenaufs brand.

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.

I would not sew leather with this machine. You could do two layers of very light leather, but I would not advise this if you have another machine. It is working with stress with four layers of cotton. I use my old Kenmore for light leather and my heavier machines for serious leather applications. This machine's forte is the multiple stitches and needle placements available not its strength.

Yeah, you can! I've made a couple of vests from the stuff I got, it holds up well to sewing. At one point I tried fastening eyelets through it, though, and that doesn't work too well unless you punch it really securely. The fabric likes to loosen up around those parts and the eyelets ended up falling out. Still, though, I like it a lot.

Sewing machine needles are pretty much universal. This one is good for heavier fabrics - not just denim.

It would definitely sew soft leather such as that used in clothing,etc, but probably not shoe type leather. I think they make a smooth foot that should be used when sewing leather to keep from scratching the leather with the standard ribbed walking foot. Hope this helps.

Not for quilting. Difficult to use, and often have trouble with it. For plain sewing, I'd suggest something like The Denim Star sold at Walmart.

it probably can but it won't hold as well because it is a lighter weight and will break. I would not use it for regular sewing.

Not sure. I don't sew. This has a backing that is quite thick (side that adheres to fabric with heat) and I'm not sure how easy it would be to work with.

I do a lot of hemming and alterations, evan tried triple layer denim ,works fine for me. If you have dexterous hands I imagine it should work.

I used it on a medium to heavy weight denim and it worked very well. You will always have to adjust the tension depending on the fabric, but that only takes a minute and after I adjusted that it handled the material I used very well
