Is this mannequin great for sewing purposes?

I would not pin anything on to this mannequin, it seems too flimsy for that, but I absolutely love it for display purposes

The short answer is a "yes, you can". I have put a size 8 dress on the mannequin but it is a little lose.

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.

Don't think so. Lots of falling, etc makes it a bit dangerous. Btw, mine got a massive rip along the seam. While I like to sew, I'm a bit annoyed as it was pretty expensive. Good luck

I have the Juki MO-654 and I love it! I do have some experience with sewing and I think this machine is very easy to use. I've only had it a few months but it's already proved itself with many sweater coats and armwarmers. =)

Yes...this is a great table! My wife use it for her sewing projects and there are no problems with it at all!

To be honest, I was going to use it for a cosplay but, it's a bit small (big hands). Depending on who's using it and what the scene requires, it can be an okay prop. However, I'd day just go with something relatively bigger.

We used the machine only with medium weight cottons, and my purpose for getting the machine was for my granddaughter to learn to sew and make clothes for her dolls.The instructions say that the machine is not for use with heavy weight fabrics so if I were in need of a machine to sew on denim and fleece etc I would not buy this one. The motor is too small I think.This little machine does not have a way to oil it so cannot imagine that it will hold up for heavy use. Also, this is a very small machine so it would be difficult to use for big projects.

Sounds like a good idea. Try it. Access to a sewing machine would be really handy.

Yes. This is a heavy duty machine that does a good job on denim hems, make sure you use a needle for denim (thicker than other needles). I've sewn denim shoulder bags, straps, linings, and the machine performs very well. Good luck!

Not sure what you want to know, Peter, but I can tell you it's a basic sewing machine. For $100 the fanciest stitch available is the zigzaz. Any seamstress can make a lot of different items with this unit . . . dresses, shirts, curtains, pillow cases, pot holders, quilting . . . just about anything. No serging. No fancy embroidering. No exotic fabrics. Any seamstress wanting to perform those skills would upgrade to a fancier machine. I use my machine almost daily and it's holding up beautifully. Hope this helps.

I think so... if you sew a lot... it was to me and I love mine.. had it 8 months I wish it had the extension table and I purchased extra feet for (approx. 40.00 )and some extra...the Bigger screen , easier read stitches I went to see screen at walmart of 9970 first ...

I use mine to hem pants to make aprons. I use it for all of my sewing needs so I would think that you would be fine with it.

Yes, it would, as long as your sewing machine is close to the wall. It's a wall-mounted gooseneck. I use mine for sewing, as well as artwork.

I feel you are able to use this for face painting. However, as with most mannequins, you want to be knowledgeable if your paint so you don't permanently stain it.

I currently use this for sewing, and it only shakes at a particular sewing speed. If I sew faster or slower, no shaking, but there's a "sweet spot" where it shakes quite a bit. I have a pretty basic Singer sewing machine, and so far I'm doing pretty limited light-duty and craft sewing, not garments and not frequently. If you do a lot of sewing, you'll probably want to invest in something more substantial; but if you're a light use hobby sewer, this might be just fine.

It is not a sewing gimmick! However it is used with invisible thread which causes an object to levitate not the wax.
