I made the Professional Tote bag with it and had no trouble stitching through the thick fabrics. I made 3 wall hangings (one for each of my brothers) of my Mom at her machine. She loved her pansy's and knitting so I used the pansy fabric and hung them on some of her old knitting needles. I gave them to my brothers for Christmas and they really loved them. I will make one for me but I am going to add another pic with me at the machine.
