In reply to Zaina. Yes but it depends on the thickness of the denim too.

Would you be able to use it for denim?

In reply to Sheila. Hi Sheila! The machine is not very heavy at all. I guess it is around 1kg or slightly more. It does not have a cover so you will need to make a cover. I use a dust bag to cover it:

Does this machine have a cover and how heavy is it?

This sewing machine is super lightweight and very easy to move from table to storage. It handles all simple sewing tasks like hem repair, torn pockets, attaching ribbons or tote bag handles. I bought it to sew pajama pants and have made many pairs. I have also made shorts, scrunchies, and simple skirts on this machine.

One disadvantage is that it is not very good with thick fabrics. The needle will not pierce through, or it will make a loud banging noise if you force it.

Nevertheless, it has served my needs well. I am very happy with it and highly recommend it as a low cost sewing machine for beginners or the occasional sewist.
