Each Machine Has A Purpose When Making Your Jeans Find Out What

Juki DDL 8300

Single Needle Lockstitch

This one has been through it all i've had this machine since I was 16, and still use it to this day. The craziest part is its meant to sew lighter weight fabrics

Juki MO-6816s

5 Thread Overlock and Chainstitch

Love Love Love this machine most of my antiques break on me, but this modern beauty just works. I use this to finish each panel of the jeans so the fabric doesn't fray over time.

Singer 261U23A

Double Needle Chainstitch Feed Off The Arm

I use this machine for virtually anything that requires a flat felled seam. As well as topstitching the inseam. While I do intend to replace this machine in the near future, it gets the jobs done so no complaints.

Union Special 54200J

1-9 Needle Flatbed Chainstitch

This machine is used to create the waistband of the jeans, and is by far my favorite purchase to date. While you can sew a waistband without one of these, it is like nails on a chalkboard to me and most sewers.

Union Special 51200BB

Single Needle Chainstitch Biastaper

This is probably one of my most unique and rare machines. It sews the bias tape on any garment for me. Its mostly rare because every single part was made from Union Special, and has a cutter on it like a serger.

Union Special 52700BK

Double Needle Coverstitch

This absolute beauty makes my beltloops for me, and trust me it does it well. While there are a lot of coverstitch machines most are too light-duty to sew denim which makes this machine super cool.

Union Special 51500BJZ

Double Needle Chainstitch Flatbed

This machine sews a beautiful chainstitch over virtually anything. This is used to sew my inseam, side seams, and even the hems on all my selvedge pairs.

Reece 104

Fully Adjustable Keyhole Buttonhole

This machine sews the most beautiful buttonhole you've ever seen. Jeans buttonholes resemble a keyhole, as the shank of the buttons found on jeans is too wide for a traditional square buttonhole to handle.

SunStar SPS/E-BS1201H

Computerized Bartacker

To be completely honest I have barely explored this machine. It is capable of sewing 40+ different stitch patterns and I just found which button attached beltloops and never touched anything else.
