Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Is this sewing machine good for denim?
Light denim repairs are possible but for thick, multi-layer denim or heavy upholstery we recommend a full-size sewing machine.
What batteries does it use and how long does it last?
The machine runs on standard AA batteries (or supplied battery jar) — runtime depends on battery brand and usage intensity.
Can I use different threads?
Yes — standard sewing thread works. For heavier fabrics use stronger polyester thread and test tension first.
