Can sew leather on this machine?

I no longer own this machine. However, It's for medium weight and leather may break the needle

I've never tried it on that. To experiment, you could find an area that isn't visible easily & try it. On leather it's a dream.

Yes you can use this on leather very easily. Remember to avoid from excessive pressure for branding the leather. That prevents from burning a hole into the leather you want to use. Good luck and have fun.

Yes you can. You are basically sewing precut forms. The machine is just a enclosed needle that moves up and down. The felt self seals due to the material.

You'd just have to try it. If it didn't there is stuff you could purchase to either glue or sew it on.

It can be used to stretch leather/skin, but I do not think it will work on man-made materials.

I never tried leather. The dies dull from aluminum, so I'm thinking leather would eventually wear them down. This is a good hobby tool, not really for production. Well worth the price, but don't expect too much.

Definitely does buttonholes - comes with a nifty attachment that you put the button in to determine the correct size of the buttonhole. And yes, you can sew on buttons with this machine.

It is a full fledged sewing machine... Just not the most hearty one I've seen. I wouldn't go sewing denim.

Trisha, Buttonholes can not be done on this machine. This is an Embroidery Only machine. Thank you,

I don't see why not. Leather is leather...this product is very gentle and nourishing.

No. It's made to thin the edges on leather around the area you are sewing togeather

I have not had occasion to use it to sew patches on a leather jacket. I have a heavy duty Singer electric machine, and have not found anything the Janome can't match. You would need a strong needle and a good treadle cabinet and belt. Sorry I'm not of more help.

The manual suggests that you don't, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. The biggest concern would be whether the wheel will sit flat when you turn it over onto the leather. If you needed too, you could trim it back so that the leather was not in the spindle clamping area.Cheers

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 love my Janome magnolia sewing machine, but I don't think that I would try making denim clothes on it, unless I would perhaps serge first and then press to one side and top-stitch the fabric. I would certainly proceed with caution with any machine though and be sure to use the appropriate needle. Hope this helps.

You can make a buttonhole with it but it does not have a buttonhole feature on the machine. This is a very basic machine but does sew well.
