If it truly is a Singer 15-30 clone, then it is not nearly heavy enough machine to sew the thicknesses you will encounter on the edges. It might (and I stress might) handle 1/4" or maybe even 3/8" at the extreme outside. #69 thread would be about the heaviest thread I would use and that's not nearly heavy enough for edge sewing. As Crex advised, I prefer 207 thread for my edge stitching, but it's on a Cobra 4 machine.
