How many inches of material can this sew through? Leather? Wool? Fabric? Thanks!

Inches?!? It wouldn't sew through a single inch of fabric & I'm not of a machine that will... That said it'll sew through 4 layers of toughtek, microfiber suede, nylon webbing (gotta be careful with the straps, it'll snap the needle & send it right at you, where glasses!). This, of course, is for the home hobby project, it couldn't do this in production. You will have to get to know the machine but after you do it runs strong, just not as fast as an industry machine.

It will cut through 4 at least. Haven't tried any more than that. And I usually just cut thru 2 with this pinking blade, after the seam is sewn.

I am sorry but the shears are too light weight and the leather would be too thick course for these shears, but the best of the best for other materials to sew.

Yes...This the 900CPX can sew through multiple layers of denim and fleece. The 900CPX also uses standard sewing needles. Let me know if you have any further questions. Pals Vac & Sew

I love this machine. I have done some light quilting so I think it should sew denim but can't swear to it. I purchased for quilt classes due to its light weight. Hope that helps a bit.

Never try it on fabrics, imagine using hot burnt metal to cut fabrics. However, i guess it can do the trick, try it and let me know.

The punch has plenty of strength. The real question should be "does the grommet have the strength to cut through the leather. I'd say, if it's one layer, 95% probable. If it multiple, 75%. To test it, up a piece of the Work on a cement floor and use a hand grommet set to test your needs. If that works ok, your in like Flinn.

Yes....it can definitely sew denim on the correct setting. I haven't sewn velvet but it has various settings to sew thicker materials. I am currently sewing outdoor cushions and it is handling the fabric very well. I've also sewn vinyl and it did a great job.

I just hemmed 4 pairs of jeans. I used a heavy duty needle and had to raise the presser foot at the seams to get over the thickness but it did a good job.

I don't know what u r planning to sew. I wanted to sew leather & I bought HD machine. It works great & I love it. I do sew fabric too but I bought it to sew leather & it was perfect for my projects.

It's a great tool, but I dont know that Id try and cut through .75" of material.. I cut 1/4" mdf core birch ply and it was pretty great but slow.. It is however a fantastic versatile tool.. And highly recommend it to anyone.

On the felt that I used yes! I tried it on some netting and it does well. To cut fabric, the only thing I can see that would hinder it is if you do not have the fabric down in a manner not to allow the blade to move well. I have made a quilt using the Disappearing Nine Patch. I know after I sew the nine patch back together for second or third or fourth cuts, The problem is the build up the layers of fabric and thread at the seams. That is why, I say with confidence, as long as you have your fabric down correctly on a good cutting board there should be no problem. I have had no problems.

It will cut cotton. I have also been successful cutting acrylic felt but forget about wool felt or other types of fabric. Also be aware that to cut any fabric you have to back it with fairly heavy iron on adhesive. This isn't always ideal for things like appliqu since it will create a very stiff quilt.

I would say less than a pound. It is a piece of leather that you sew on yourself. So just imagine a sheet of thin leather. I'd say a few ounces.

yes, of course, that depends on the thickness of the leather. I have been very pleased with this sewing machine.

Sorry, never tried it for patching clothes. Can't give you an accurate answer. Try calling the company/manufacturer.

I wouldn't try to sew it. The stitches would likely tear through. It is just thin vinyl.
