Singer 15-- How heavy a thread can you use?
I've been looking for a Singer 15..... I keep reading that they are heavy duty and good for FMQ and such. Then, I was talking with my DGD and she's wanting to make some pillows, throw pillows using heavier fabric. I figured the model 15 would be good for that as well but she'll have to use a heavier thread. So, here's the question.....
How heavy a thread can you use on a singer 15? When I made cushions for my porch chairs using my Viking 1+, I used a heavy thread, almost as heavy as button and carpet thread. I had to load both the bobbin and upper with it but it worked. Could I do that with the singer 15 as well?
I know some of you (Nancy, I'm thinking of you) have done sewing on leather, etc. So, let me know what you think. I don't want to steer my DGD to the wrong machine.
