would this work to sew leather round buttons on a leather coat?

The only worry I would have would be thread different, color match. If you can go all the way around you coat that would help. Remember this is for heavy duty stuff. To be honest for no more than it cost and you got skills go for it.

Yes. Depends on the button hole size too. It fits fine for all my leather jackets as leather jackets tend to have fairly large button hole. The needle is too big for say a shirt button but for others like for shorts its a tight squeeze.

This tool is the right one for this job. The thread that comes with it is fairly heavy. This may or may not be the look you are trying to achieve. You could use other threads.

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

Yes, I used this to make armor for some costumes. I used an iron to do it (place the foam between some newspaper on both sides for 10-15 seconds and shape how you want) it holds its shape pretty well

Yes if they aren't used much. It is a good song velcro.... But not meant for sewing. Hope that helps!

The holes are round but I would advise not ordering this punch. I have found that I cannot press hard enough to punch through a leather belt without first starting the hole with a drill or something and just using the punch to clean up the hole.

It should, just wedge it in and wind it to the stretch you need. If it's leather could I suggest using a stretch spray to pretreat the leather?

My guess is that you want something like an "Oblong Punch". Craftool Oblong Leather Punch 3 4" (1.9 Cm) Leathercraft Tool Tandy 31566-00

Yes. I use it on my Baby Lock (made by Brother), as well as my Viking. My friend uses it on her Baby Lock and her Brother sewing machines.

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.

If you have a low shank machine with a snap on ankle it should work. I found my work was not as good as if I used the usual two step process for sewing on binding. But I have a friend who loves hers and has spent plenty of time learning to use it.

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.

I think it would be fine for light weight or smaller buttons. For large or heavier buttons I would use Helmars Premium Craft glue. Be sure to test the Helmars on some inexpensive buttons at first,a little goes a long way. Hope that helps!!

It should handle the leather nicely. The machine has enough power, but the weak link is the needle, so get a needle that is meant for leather. I suggest using slower speeds to avoid breaking the needle. Trial and error will tell you how much thickness can pass under the presser foot and not bind up. You can also use the old seamstress's trick of lubricating the needle for extra thick spots. Do this by rubbing your thumb and forefinger on your forehead and then on the needle. Most of us have enough oil there to do the trick.

Yes. I use it for very small cross stitching on black cloth. I think it works great.

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 worked on leather for me although depending on what if any conditioner you might use it might make a difference.

It probably would. I have cloth over foam. When I take off the clip there is an indentation in the foam. After a little while it doesn't look so bad. But leather would probably indent unless you put a piece of cloth between the Wooden clip and leather.
