hemming jeans just because they're too long should be doable with any machine so long as you want to preserve the original hem (go to youtube for this, but you're basically cutting off the bottom of the jeans and then sewing it back on higher up...) But if the original hem is worn out because they were dragging at your heels and you're trying to do a repair you're going to have a hard time with pretty much any home machine as you'll being going thru like 6 layers of denim at the vertical seams. Not to mention finding thread to perfectly match is probably going to be hard. If that's the case, take it to a pro or just go for the cutoffs look.
It will also handle 4 layers of denim, canvas or ballistic Cordura. So basically you're only limited to what will feed under the presser foot.
This summer I bought the Singer 4452 which is an upgraded model, but mechanically they are identical with the 4452 just having more stitch options (which you'll probably never use).
If the 64S had been on sale, I would have chosen it over the 4452…internally they are virtually identical.
Both models do have some plastic parts but the main drive system is metal and so is the frame. The nice bonus with the 64S is the included extended table which doesn't come with the 4452. That's worth $40 alone.
If you want an in depth review of the mechanics including a "tear down" see the YT link below.
