Question 1

made in USA or China?

Accepted Answer

Juki is a Japanese company with factories in Japan, Vietnam, and China.  All their machines are designed in Japan and produced in one of those three factories.  I believe this model comes out of the China Factory.
Thanks,

Question 2

does this sewing machine come with a hard cover for storage?

Accepted Answer

It does have a hard cover although there is an opening on top for the carry handle (which is attached to the machine).  I put a small hand towel over mine just to make sure it stays clean and dust free.  I really do love this sewing machine and hope to keep it for a long time!

Question 3

Can this machine handle leather, denim and other heavy fabrics or multiple layers of fabric?

Accepted Answer

It can definitely handle multiple layers of fabric, and fabric of different types. It can even handle different amounts of layers in the same sewed piece--the main presser foot has a knob you pull out to hold the foot at the level you want. The topstitch footer assumes multiple layers of fabric. You may need to guide the fabric through a bit to make sure it doesn't get stuck, but otherwise, does fine. For denim, I'm assuming you're asking about hemming jeans. I didn't cut off the original hem, so the machine struggled a bit at the seams since at that point it was 6+ denim layers. I just went back and reinforced those areas by hand. I haven't tried leather specifically, but I imagine it would work as long as you have the right needle.

Question 4

Does this machine do embroidery? (I claim to know nothing about sewing machines!)

Accepted Answer

no this is just a sewing machine.  Anything that is an embroidery machine also will say "embroidery int the title"
