I am hoping to get recommendations on a good sewing machine for heavy duty sewing. Something in between a home machine and an industrial as I am not ready to commit to a huge industrial machine but I sew much more then what a standard home machine can handle. For example heavy fabrics such as canvas, upholstery weight, or denim and I sew for 5plus hours per day.

I’m trying to put hems on a knit shirt and am not sure how you get the double row of stitching you find on shirts you buy in a store. Do I need a serger or can I use a twin needle on my brothers sewing maching? If I can use the twin needle how do I thread it?

I just bought a sewing machine and a whole lot of fabric and other sewing necessities. I’d like to make a couple of blankets (throws), curtains and things of this nature. I have a general idea of how to do these things, but it would be great to find a website that offers some step-by-step instructions and even offers other ideas.

I know basic stitches and have made a couple projects, mainly pillows. I usually embroider and only use sewing to sew my embroidery project together. Do you think it would be too ambitious to try to make a simple dress? If so what should I do to get the experience I need to make one?
