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 can't say for sure it will make the texture like new? I can say it will make the leather soft again. If the leather has faded at all it will darken it and be soft and waterproof.

No it will not work on leather. I would try something like Shoe Glue for that. You can find that at a hardware store.

No unless you cut off one and sewed the other one on. We've sewn new ones on when the old one wears out.

No, it does straight stitch as well. You can do anything a regular machine would do.

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

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 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.

Go to Youtube and look up 'how to use a leather awl' or just 'speedy stitcher'. There are some good video tutorials online.

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?

No, not really. The best thing to do is to buy shoe trees (wood, if possible) and stretch the leather a small bit at a time.

I would say yes. The strap that holds the bags is adjustable and can even be cut to shorten (I cut mine). Being leather it cuts cleanly and you can modify it easily.

Never tried on leather. It stripped off paint from a plastic moulding; seems to be very stong. Try on a small part first.

Yes you can. It is strong leather so it will be stiff at first but after some use its great.

You need to measure the hole in the beads to know. This leather is 2 mm in diameter. If the bead holes are greater than 2mm, this will work. If not, it will not work without having to enlarge the bead holes.

At the very least you'd have to use the No 5 leather milk; I'm pretty sure that one is for automotive leather. I'd suggest contacting Chamberlain's directly. They are very responsive and might have some good advice.
