I'm looking to buy a grommet machine for leather- does this work with leather? How does this work? (beginner)

I use these on harness leather . These hole punches are a must have and work great in conjunction with a leather wheel hole punch.I recommend a kitchen vinyl plastic cutting board as an additional to act as an punch board.----I hope this info helps you

I have not used the set on leather yet, but I am sure it will work. Use each "hole cutter/punch" by hand or with a hammer to cut or punch holes into leather.

Honestly, I would look to spend a little more money on a better quality set. These work fine for what I used them for, but leather is a more valuable product to be dealing with. I would look for better quality. Hope this helped

May do it...used it on weight belt material, did not cut hole completely, used a solder iron to clean up the hole and melt the nylon. May work fine on leather. Cheap enough to try.

The stretcher really didn't work for me at all. But I only used it on leather and synthetic.

The SINGER 160 Anniversary Limited Edition 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 the type of leather such as that used for belts, etc., an industrial machine is recommended.

I am not positive that it would not tear felt wool, if I was you I would try a piece and check it out. But for me, I only have used the hole punch on leather only. It is a steady product and probably would work, but not sure for lack of experience with felt.

You could sew it - ironing on to leather is not a good idea- unlikely to last and will leave damage

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.

I'm sorrt, but I have no idea about how it would work with felted wool as I've only used on leather with thicknesses varying from relatively paper thin to typical belt thickness and it punched cleanly through all of it with now tearing.

Depends on what you call Heavy-duty - I would not try and sew canvas, leather or very heavy Jeans. But you can quilt smaller Items on it. The keyhole/Pass through is not very large so trying to push big gabs of stuff though it is not going to happen. I would look for a Juki or Thomasson machine I think it is called.

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

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 am using it to punch velcro and it works great! I would say yes to all you questions, but on extra thick material you would want to use caution to be sure you are not taxing the tool That said it is the most heavy duty of three leather hole punchers I have used. Hope that helps.

It should work well on leather. The edges are very sharp, so make sure you have a soft backing plate. Plywood tends to dull them, so I'd go with some pine or something like that.

I am not sure, Jose. I bought this to fill small holes in a pair of flats. Honestly, it didn't work nearly as well as I thought, but I think this product might be better suited to fixing a rip, as opposed to filling a hole. I'd say try it (at 5.10, you can't really go wrong), but if it doesn't work, then Liquid Leather might be your best bet instead: http://www.amazon.com/Liquid-Leather-Pro-Vinyl-Repair/dp/B000PSMVTA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425440437&sr=8-1&keywords=liquid+leather

In my experience, rubber cement works well on leather (over the years I have used it to make many lasting repairs). Coat both sides of the leather to be joined, let it dry, then carefully position and press the pieces together. Obviously this won't work in every situation, but it is worth a try. (FYI, when making laced leather products like wallets, the lacing is lengthened by cutting a 1/8" 45 degree slice off the top side of one piece and off the bottom side of the other (to keep the shiny top-side continuous) and then rubber-cementing them together in the manner described above.)

I didn't use if for that. I used it to glue fabric to leather -- and it was useless. It came apart after one wear. I think you better go with the other more expensive glues. This seems to only work for very thin fabric.

Leather new worked great for me on a red fake leather chair. I had some puncture areas from keys in the pockets, some tears, etc. Just need to be sure you get the area tightly closed when you put the repair compounds on. I also had a tan chair in the basement.....no tears, just worn areas that I put the coloring on...looks great now.

To answer your question, YES. It will sew through leather without a problem. I have 2 of these electric motors, one on my single needle Consew and the other on my double needle Singer. It makes sewing on an industrial machine just as easy as sewing on a home light duty machine. Use the pulley provided and the machine will sew one stitch at a time or at full speed if you can work that fast.
