I have not sewn leather on this machine, but it goes through multiple layers of denim like a dream. It's fast too. Great machine.

No but it does beautiful embrodery. I want to trade this sewing machine to update to a 2015 dual As I do a lot of quilting and embrodery etc. I would like a more advance and versitile machine

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.

Probably not for leather. Leather requires a point of some type to pierce it and you can get a leather puncher much cheaper. This tool is strictly for metal.

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.

I would not trust it to sew leather. I sent my machine like this back. It kept dropping stitches. Singers are made with plastic gears. I would instead look at a Husqvarna Viking. If you are looking for a basic model, go with a 118. THey run about $400. If you want a basic computerized, go with an Opal 650 that goes for about $750-$850. All of their machines can sew through 7 layers of fabric and have great warranties. I love mine and will never own anything but a Huskie again. They are all metal gears by the way. Hope this helps! Sue PS: Buy it from an authorized dealer not on line or from any old shop. The service is much better and your warranty will be good.

We have sewed multiple layers of fabric perfectly and we have sew some leather projects on this machine. Although I would not use this machine constantly to do leather or super thick layers

I am just starting to make quilts, I know this is a quilting stitch. I am not sure if the machine will have the capability. I think it will on small projects with a special foot.

I would think so, but I never used it on leather - I have found that less is more, but in doubt call the manufacturere

I haven't had any problems with bulk but haven't sewed influx leather. Great machine.

Honestly Derek, I truly don't know. I have never even thought of using it on leather, but personally, I would be fearful of trying it on any good leather.

We punched through some extra leather fabric we had on hand for a conference room chair - so most likely, yes if its not really thick. The machine punches thick cardboard covers so I think it will work.

It should. I've sewn denim two and three layers. I'd suggest taking some scraps and slowly getting the feel of how the machine accommodates your project.

Not really setup for Leather. No knife edge for cutting. The cut would not be clean as a leather hole punch.

You could. It would likely soak the leather in wax which will have a permanent preserving and aesthetic change.

Yes. This is a heavy duty machine that does a good job on denim hems, make sure you use a needle for denim (thicker than other needles). I've sewn denim shoulder bags, straps, linings, and the machine performs very well. Good luck!

No, because it says its a kit, implying that it's an engraving kit. It only comes with the bits, Nothing else. Nothing to put the bits in or say. even which dremel/ tool that the bits would fit . A dremmel engraver would work on leather, but this item again is Not! A kit
