Would this machine be sturdy enough to sew leather?

The SINGER CG590 sewing machine can be used to sew garment weight leather. Use a SINGER Leather needle, which has a wedge point designed for sewing leather. For sewing through leather such as that used for belts, etc., an industrial machine is recommended.

I don't think so. I have sewn a few layers of jean, but I think that is far as it will go. If you are going to be doing a lot of leather sewing, I would suggest finding an old vintage machine. Or if you can afford it, an industrial sewing machine.

This would be fantastic if you wanted to use it for sewing, so don't hesitate to use it because I do and so doe's my wife!

It would definitely sew soft leather such as that used in clothing,etc, but probably not shoe type leather. I think they make a smooth foot that should be used when sewing leather to keep from scratching the leather with the standard ribbed walking foot. Hope this helps.

It is actually quite thin. Regular machine is fine. Definitely not near as thick or heavy duty as leather.

it probably can but it won't hold as well because it is a lighter weight and will break. I would not use it for regular sewing.

It should handle the leather nicely. The machine has enough power, but the weak link is the needle, so get a needle that is meant for leather. I suggest using slower speeds to avoid breaking the needle. Trial and error will tell you how much thickness can pass under the presser foot and not bind up. You can also use the old seamstress's trick of lubricating the needle for extra thick spots. Do this by rubbing your thumb and forefinger on your forehead and then on the needle. Most of us have enough oil there to do the trick.

I've used this machine on several fabric weights and it has been great. As long as you have the right needle and thread tension correct, it will be a work horse for you.

This chair should be adequate for sewing. I have used it for my sewing and it worked great.

This is a very sturdy and heavy table. I know my sewing machine would set on it very well and I am assuming that cutting a hole in it would not weaken it, but I no expert in such things.

Based on my experience, I would say no. It struggled being able to cut properly through a piece of paper about double the thickness of typical computer paper. I doubt it can handle even the thinnest of fabrics.

I would not put a sewing machine on this table. I have a mac pro and I was weary about its weight on the table. A laptop is ok but the weight of a sewing machine is another story.

I would think so, I cut some thick rubber with it and wouldn't think leather was any tougher, tool is good and sharp

Probably , there are cords connecting the two sides of the leather so you can adjust it. But the cords are weak. It's possible they will break

I run a small business & do a lot of sewing. I have use this machine on just about every type of fabric. If you have the correct needles & thread, you can do just about anything with it. they also take a good amount of abuse as well. I can honestly say that it probably was not designed for 1/3 of the things I've done with it..lol but it always comes through with flying colors for me.
