I wanted to see if the domestic sewing machine that I recently purchased could stitch a proper jean hem with heavy thread without breaking a needle, skipping stitches, have tension problems or throw the timing out on the machine.
I use two different feet to test out my Singer Heavy Duty 4411.
I changed the basic foot to a clear ¼” foot and also use a domestic walking foot attachment
The 3 industrial sewing machines used in my workshop are:
Brother S-7200A-403
Brother S-1000A-5
Typical GC0302

Check out if my Domestic Sewing machine can stitch a jean hem like my Industrial machines. Have you successfully sewn a jean hem with your domestic machine?

These hems look great. I was also shocked that the singer machine went right through. Of course I’m sure the needle you used was very important. I have a singer heavy duty model 4423. I’m tempted to try this after watching this. I’m still learning about different needles, and threads. Thank you!

I was pretty surprised too and the quality of the stitch was good as well. Just practice on scraps to get all your tensions and stitch lengths to your liking😊

I use a Height Compensation tool/ Hump jumper to go over seamer on my Bernina domestic machine when hemming jeans.

Thank you for this! So rigorous and methodical... That Singer has a reputation of being impossible to control, as it is said the foot pedal is so sensitive that it jets all the way to max speed at the mere touch of the pedal. But you've shown that short bursts of one stitch at a time are possible. I think with some experience, one could control the speed as you have. Thanks again!

The Singer really isn’t a very speedy machine and honestly haven’t had any issues with it . It isn’t used as much as the industrial ones but when we do use it, it has proven to be reliable.

These are great machines to sew just about anything. Have owned several for many years without any major problems at all. It will sew sew very lightweight fabrics to leather. Thanks for watching!🙏😊. Please check out some of my other videos.

I have hemmed many jeans, and I would never start and end my hem on a seam. If you hold your threads in the beginning you don't get those clumped-up stitches. I use the euro or original hem for hemming my son's jeans. I think it is quite nice to have them that way.

@NotchesSewing 2 жыл бұрын

I alter jeans with the original hem piece attached as well but that would be for another tutorial. The purpose of this video was to show whether or not a domestic machine could sew through the thickness of a double turned denim hem as my industrial machines do. Our jean hems are always backtacked and not pulled through to inside for speed. It is started and stopped on inseam as it is less visible. Thanks for watching.

I would be switching out that Typical motor with A Servo Motor, amazing difference and almost no noise, and easier to control.

@NotchesSewing 2 жыл бұрын

All my other industrial machines have the servo motor . Just not my Typical. I don't use it that often so won't swap at the moment. Thanks for the tip. Do you have a sewing business?

@stephparkes100 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much for this video. Just wondering if you knew of either a domestic machine, an attachment or a technique for making nice buttonholes in the waistband of jeans. I have a Bernina and it does really nice buttonholes in lighter weight fabrics but just can't handle doing them in bulky fabrics. Thanks in advance.

@NotchesSewing 2 жыл бұрын

I don’t know any domestic machines that will make a heavy buttonhole like the ones on jeans. Those are made by industrial buttonhole machines. You can make a domestic keyhole buttonhole and add thread in between to add more bulk to it or consider sewing buttonhole by hand like on a coat. Cheers

I really enjoyed this comparison. I don't do much sewing and mostly like to have a machine around for when I need to repair things. I learned to sew from my mom as a kid in the 50's just to do hems on my short pants on her Singer (not sure of the model) and that was a great machine. I recently bought an inexpensive Brother SM2700 and was trying to sew hems on some jeans and I think I stressed the timing as now my machine doesn't sew at all on the jeans, the tread is not connecting. I'm thinking of getting the Singer Heavy Duty 4411 as you showed here can work for this purpose. I'm also wondering what you think of the Sailrite machines and if they are worth the money or not. Thanks

@NotchesSewing Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. Sound like your timing is out for sure. You’ll need to decide if the machine is worth the repair cost. I personally have never tried the Sailrite machines as I am in Australia. They look very well made and there are lots of great reviews. If you only need a machine to do your own personal alterations and repairs, consider how heavy the work may be. Having more power is always good but it may not be worth spending the money on a real heavy duty machine. If you can, test the machines before purchasing.

@TerrydeAlaska Жыл бұрын

@@NotchesSewing So I took the Brother machine apart and moved the bobbin wheel to needle timing by adjusting the set screws on the drive shaft so the needle will pick up the loop and got it to sew again. I have a line on a Singer Heavy Duty 4452 used for $100 and I'm going to take a look at it tomorrow. I think I will wait a while for a Sailrite Machine...Thanks for your help!

Hi Angela, I’m a new subscriber. I just want to say I love your channel, I am new to sewing, but I managed to hem several jeans for my husband. I cut off notches of those seams in the first fold so the needles did not have to sew through such a thick fabric. I just have a quick question, hopefully you can help me. What are the best setting for stitch length and stitch tension to hem jeans. Thank you so much. I learnt a lot from your channel especially in making scrunchies.

@NotchesSewing 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Christine for watching and taking the time to comment. Best to test out on the offcuts before sewing the hem. Use a longer stitch. I think I had between 3 and 4. Test on your scrap and try to match to original length. Don’t stitch with short tiny stitches. It looks amateurish and will be very hard to unpick if you need to. You will find that your tension will depend on your jeans. There are lots of different types of denim so always try to test on scrap before sewing the actual project. It will save you a lot of heartache if it doesn’t sew perfectly on the first go. When sewing, sew a few inches and check that the stitching looks good before proceeding. This way, if you do have to unpick for any reason, you’re only doing a bit and not the whole seam or hem. Have fun sewing. I’m sure you’ll love it for the rest of your life. I will be posting a few more videos soon which may be good for gifts. Also check out my tutorials on Skillshare. Links are in the description. Cheers!

Nice video! Do you recall the size/weight of the thread you used on the first industrial? I'm using a tex 75 thread (top and bottom, size 110/18 DBx1 needle) and I get blobs/loops of top thread on the bottom side when hemming over a 9-layer seam with my industrial lockstitch.

The first large cone was about a Tex 60.

@@NotchesSewing Thanks. Hmm, I tried using a Tex 60 and I'm still getting tiny top thread knots/loose stitch under those seams.
