Frequently Asked Questions

What weight of denim should I use?

A 10-12 oz denim is the sweet spot for everyday jeans - sturdy enough for structure, light enough to sew on a home machine.

Do I need a special needle for denim?

Yes - use a denim/jeans needle (size 90/14 or 100/16) and a longer stitch length (3.0-3.5mm) for clean seams through thick layers.
