My suggestions:

  • Do samples, sewing through several layers and experimenting with different needles, threads, and stitch lengths;

  • For the seam intersections, use a tool like a Jean-a-Ma-Jig, which raises the fabric to keep it level under the presser feet;

  • If there will be no other alterations, consider trimming some of the fabric at the intersections to reduce the layers;

  • Pin and then baste the hem to control it;

  • Pound the intersections with a rubber-headed sewing hammer;

  • Try a topstitching foot, which has a blade that moves along the fold of the jeans.

  • If you have no topstitching foot, take a ruler, tailor's chalk and draw a line to sew on;

  • Should the stitching continue to be irregular, don't use contrast thread. Find an indigo color that blends with the denim.

My Brother has fixed feed dogs, which makes it impossible to sew thicker fabrics. I bought a sewing hammer to make thick seams flatter, but haven't used it yet. Most of the sewing I've done lately has been in classes in which I've been able to use industrial machines. I'm not able to buy a machine right now, but I'd love Juki industrial. They're big, but they make a beautiful stitch and the presser feet and binders are reasonably priced.
