That will be dependent on your needle, as far as the machine itself, the best investment we have made with amazon, we sew clothing, canvas bags, sheets and drapes, and just about anything friends of ours can tear, will handle everything from silks to denim no problem, if you want to stich leather get the right needle, watch your speed and go

I don't think that's enough. Sorry. But after reading a lot about this, ANY mild soap and water will clean the leather safely. You only need 2 of the protection cream after that.

You should buy the Meltonian leather conditioner. It cleans and condition at the same time. I love it. I use for my beige and white leather purses and they come out clean looking like new.

I've used this tool to cut leather and have not had problems with it retracting.

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.

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 used it to cut polar fleece and it worked fine but i dont know about cutting leather. I will also tell you that it is very loud.

It's all leather I believe, it takes all the abuse that I throw at it so I have no complaints.

I have not used it on leather. There is someone in 2011 that says it is safe; however, it doesn't mention leather on the Fission website, just carpet and "all kinds of upholstery". I suggest you contact Fission or try it on a spot no one would see. The website is http://www.fizzionclean.com/

I wouldn't try it on leather. Even if the hole from the screw is minimal if the screw hole stretches out or needs replaced, more holes.

I haven't tried it on leather, but from what I understand, most woodburners can be used in some way on leather.

I have only tried it on smooth or pebbled leather. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I don't think I would use it on car leather, s soft cloth with a good leather cleaner would be a better choice. Even on a slow speed you could damage the leather.

I have been a leather crafter for 30 years. I use a tablespoon in a pint of warm water to clean leather. I have never had a problem.

I'd treat it like any good leather. Saddle soap to clean it. Use glove oil or leather conditioner if it seems dry..

Not really suitable for punching leather unless it's relatively thin and quite stiff.As far as durability, yes, it'll punch thousands of holes before you'll wear out the dies or the handles.
