Have you any good recommendations for a heavy duty sewing machine for denim, canvas and welding jackets?
I really enjoy my computerized machines for home decor and fashion, but they balk some at heavy duty work and sport wear, canvas etc. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.
Mechanical sewing machines will handle this the best. Go to as many sewing machine dealers as you can and tell them what you will be sewing.
They will make recommendations, demo and let you give the machines a try.
Take some denim scraps and a jeans needle with you for the demo so they have no excuses not to sew or let you sew a sampling of the fabric you need this machine to be able to stitch.
I found a Singer 1507 at Meijer for less than $80 for travel and found that it does a great job with the many layers of denim that need to be sewn when hemming jeans. It is a small, mechanical machine with two presser foot levels to accommodate the thick fabrics. http://www.amazon.com/Singer-1507-8-Stitch-Sewing-Machine/dp/B000TF6KJQ
As you are already experienced in sewing the heavier fabrics, you already know the right needle makes all the difference in the world.
Best wishes in your quest.
