This works very well for interior plastic and vinyl and smells very nice. I really like the UV protection it offers. As for using it on leather, best to E-mail Meguiar's directly and ask them. They are very good at responding and you will the professional answer to your question.

I don't know what u r planning to sew. I wanted to sew leather & I bought HD machine. It works great & I love it. I do sew fabric too but I bought it to sew leather & it was perfect for my projects.

We have sewed multiple layers of fabric perfectly and we have sew some leather projects on this machine. Although I would not use this machine constantly to do leather or super thick layers

I have done repairs on vinyl and it works very well. I will buy more when needed. Hope it works for you.

I have not sewn leather on this machine, but it goes through multiple layers of denim like a dream. It's fast too. Great machine.

To answer your question, YES. It will sew through leather without a problem. I have 2 of these electric motors, one on my single needle Consew and the other on my double needle Singer. It makes sewing on an industrial machine just as easy as sewing on a home light duty machine. Use the pulley provided and the machine will sew one stitch at a time or at full speed if you can work that fast.

I have used this with our on-line business and have had great success. I have been able to repair discs that are badly damaged. There are some deep scratches however that I have not been able to remove, so it depends on how deep.

It can be used on vinyl, but for the money there are probably cheaper alternatives. Works well on leather for the price.

This machine has been GREAT. I use assorted threads. I do not use plastic because it does not always last in dry cleaning and pressing. This machine has been one of my best investments. P.S. I have a small alterations shop.

I do not have a good answer on this question. However, being a sewer and know about fabric I Would Not use the Spotlifter on your leather. The brushes rotating on the leather may cause harm to the leather. I would look for a product that works on cleaning leather and clean by hand. Hope this helps you in your search to clean your couch.

Yes. This is a heavy duty machine that does a good job on denim hems, make sure you use a needle for denim (thicker than other needles). I've sewn denim shoulder bags, straps, linings, and the machine performs very well. Good luck!

No. This machine is good for a home office but probably will not be fast enough for your needs.

I have used upholstery fabric with this machine but only to make tote bags. It's a very durable machine but I wouldn't say it's a commercial machine to use upholstery fabric all of the time!!

Since it a hand operated machine, I would not recommend it for vinyl.. Try looking at the Cricut or the Silhouette. I have owned all three and much prefer the Silhouette cameo for vinyl.

The machine will work but effectiveness depends entirely on the grit of the sandpaper you buy. Get a 60 or 80 grit for tough dried on drips. 120 for lighter sanding

No it's vinyl. Leather would wear out. This is better on chairs. No maintenance.
