Three different machines tried and each one had a different defect. I would avoid this machine

Think that bottom fabric is way too thin and sometimes folds when putting it on. Took some iron-on jeans-mending patches, cut to size then attached them to the original fabric. Stiffens them up so they say more rigid and extends their life. Can't understand why they would make this quality product with such a wimpy piece. Everything else is great.

I just got mine today. It looks & feels good. My only worry is that it won't be enough for a full sew in.

Hi Mikal, It's not really made for the heavy fabrics but if you call the store toll free 800-442-8227 and ask for Paul. He can get you in the best machine for your needs. Thanks, Scott

Yes, but mine was canvas, not leather, and it unravelled and the stitching came out after five hours. Good luck with yours...

I use the kit needles to sew heavy leather. For jeans, a thinner needle would be better because the ones in the kit are large. Speedy stitcher does have smaller needles but I never used it. As far as the thread goes, polyester is really strong, maybe overkill for jeans. Nylon is strong also, if you are worried about strength I would use one of those. The Thread Exchange (website) has good information about different threads. Sorry, I do not have specifics but the needles and polyester thread that comes in the kit are likely too thick for what you want.

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......

At my sewing classes I was told that if you buy the right needle, it can sew through leather. It's a very heavy, substantial machine, so i expect it would do just fine.

I have sewn both leather and denim on this, however, I have noticed that more than 3 layers of heavy denim is pretty difficult for it to get through. This holds true for almost all current machines. If you really want something that can handle heavy denim, you will need either an old industrial Necchi or an old treadle machine. For lighter denims and leathers, however, this machine works just fine. Remember also that the right needle can make all the difference in the world!! I cannot stress this enough ~ using leather needles for leather allows the needle to cut through the leather, and doesn't put any extra strain on the machine, because the motor isn't taxed by trying to push through a dull point. This is also true with denim ~ you need a needle made specifically FOR stitching denim. It has a different point and will pierce the fabric with less stress on the machine motor.

This can be sewn but since this is used mostly for wrapping, I guess I would ask what are you trying to use it for??

yes, of course, that depends on the thickness of the leather. I have been very pleased with this sewing machine.

I m not sure if the fabric will be good for that. It does look and feel very strong. But I would not order it from the seller, b/c they charges me shipping and handling for each yard of the fabric I ordered , so for one piece of 4 yard they charged me over $19 and still have not refunded me Money. I orded it in May. I called Amazon , they said they will contact the seller and have not heard back since then. So I would not recommend buying from the seller.

I think this is a good choice of fabric for that. The only thing to be aware of is that chiffon frays easily on the side where it is cut, so you just have to make sure that it doesn't get pulled to much on that side.

No, this would be a great fabric to use. My regular old Brother sewing machine had no problems sewing this material

The stitching for this collection is similar to the color you would find used for hems on traditional denim jeans. Of course if you purchase it and are not satisfied you can return it with Amazon's A to Z guarantee. Thank you for your inquiry. Pricepetals.

Yeah, you can! I've made a couple of vests from the stuff I got, it holds up well to sewing. At one point I tried fastening eyelets through it, though, and that doesn't work too well unless you punch it really securely. The fabric likes to loosen up around those parts and the eyelets ended up falling out. Still, though, I like it a lot.

Hello, I am sorry but you won't be able to change the fabric/leather on this. It is just one style. Thanks
