While the name has jeans in it, it just means it can handle thicker fabrics. I've sewn jersey and cotton without issue but I have had to ensure I have used the correct machine needle and setting. Also for stretch/jersey, I tend to use a walking foot. I have made a lot of projects - clothes, accessories, quilting and free machine embroidery with it. Overall, it's a versatile budget machine if you haven't got much to spend on one.
