2. Walking Foot A walking foot can help prevent layers of leather or vinyl from shifting as you sew, resulting in straight seams and a professional finish. This feature is particularly beneficial for users working on projects that involve multiple layers.
Keep in mind that just because a machine isn’t specifically labeled “heavy-duty,” doesn’t mean it can’t handle heavier fabrics, like denim, leather, or multiple layers. So when you are shopping for a sewing machine for jeans and denim it is important to know what kind of features to look for because heavy-duty sewing machines are made differently than basic home or beginner sewing machines.
