You can purchase the walking foot specific for this machine through your certified Janome dealer. You can get a list of dealers in your area and on Amazon by going to Janome's website or Janome's Facebook page. The walking foot does not come included with this machine and yes it can sew through leather but you will need a heavy duty needle. This machine takes Schmetz and Organ and Janome needles. Does not take Singer or Brother needles.

I have never tried sewing leather. But I would guess it can. I use it mainly for quilting which really beats on a machine and it meets the challenge and does a great job. It is really sturdy.

Yes, the SINGER 1507WC sewing machine will sew on buttons. It comes with the Button Sewing foot, as well. Instructions for how to sew on buttons can be found on page 46 of the machine's instruction manual.

If your machine can accept a snap on foot, it will work on it. Please note that the foot itself is not marked off. Personally I wish that each line were a different color to make it easier to follow, but I find it easier than following a shallow line on the machine itself. Good luck and happy stitiching!

Walking foot, free motion foot and straight stitch quilting foot. This machine has one stitch. The feed dogs can be lowered for free motion quilting.

I have used this machine to hem denim jeans, sew through several layers of corduroy, and quilt with no problem. I do use different feet for different projects, which helps feed the fabric through more easily, and I do lift the foot when going over a very thick seam to help it feed through manually. I love this sewing machine! I have had no issues with plastic vs. metal gears so far.

I believe it weighes around 35 lbs. It can sew extremely fast and is a workhorse. However, I do not sew leather. I might do a small project, but not as a rule. I enjoy my machine for free motion quilting.

I did not keep that sewing machine so I do not know if you can change the presser feet out. I wanted a more heavy duty machine and even though they described it as being something that would do seveal different things once I received it I realized that it was more like a childs beginner sewing machine. It did not have a regular sewing machine foot. It was a small plastic one and it is very small machine so if you are wanting to sew more than the basic materials I don't think it will do it. Sorry but maybe this will give you a little more information about it.

Yes it did have a foot pedal that plugged in to the machine. I am not the one using this machine because I gave it to my grandson's wife for Christmas. She loves it.

Good day. Yes you may use leather but have to be thin.The blade that comes with the machine is good for clothes,plastic and not real thick leather.I suggest that the use of a thicker standard needle will be need for leather.Also the use of only one needle in step of the two will make the job easier and a strong polyester or nylon spools to make strong threads.Then some practice and the recommended settings on the chart will do the best.High quality spools is highly recommended. That's it......

Yes and a few others that are listed in the info provided on the Amazon site. Just scroll down. It also has the capability to use other feet that you may want to buy and use. Pretty remarkable machine.

Nope. The Walking Foot comes with it's own foot. At times it's an inconvenience but that's the way it is. The idea with the Walking Foot is to keep the fabrics moving together at the same time. I imagine, since I didn't design the Walking Foot, that that is what is needed for the process to work.

Yes, there are many feet, including a walking foot. If you want a 1/4 foot with an "edge" on it, you would have to purchase one from the sewing outlet.com ($15.99). I like to sew with the edged 1/4 inch foot. Otherwise, there are many presser feet, including the free motion foot. You can drop the feed dogs to free motion. This is a great quilting machine and has excellent "pin feed," which moves the fabric through like butter. First time threading took longer for me, but after that it was free sailing. If you want to make quilts faster like I do, this is a great machine. I used to quilt with my Bernina, but I like the Brother better. It is more affordable and well made. You should also know that if you use thicker threads (I always use 100% cotton from ConnectingThreads.com), that you will need an 80/12 needle instead of the smaller ones due to the way the machine's tension is set up. Hope this helps, Vivian from Wisconsin

Yes. And don't forget leather needles and a nonstick sewing foot or Teflon foot, these do not come with the machine.

If this will be your only sewing machine, I wouldn't recommend it for dressmaking, as it only does straight stitch. Therefore you cannot do buttonholes, blind hemstitch, overcasting,etc. I would definitely use it for home dec purposes like draperies and slipcovers because of the larger size and higher speed.
