Frequently Asked Questions

What weight of denim should I use?

A 10-12 oz denim gives the right structure for a jacket. Heavier weights (14 oz+) are harder to sew through multiple layers on a home machine.

Do I need special equipment?

A denim needle (90/14 or 100/16), heavy-duty thread, and a walking foot are recommended. A hammer or clapper helps flatten thick seams.
