Anyone sew leather? Do I really need an industrial machine?
- What thickness and how long do you need to sew? For small jobs on thicker leather you can pre-hole and then thread your needle through.Nairn
- I bought a standard machine and hacked it to sew thin leather to make wallets. It worked decently, but for tight finish find a walking-footrobotron3k
- I do sew leather from time to time to make little things like computer sleeves and wallets. I use this: https://express.goog…shellie

You can cop that machine for $104 on amazon.shellie - I have an industrial leather sewing machine because i was using pretty hard cowhide. But regular machines can do some of the finer leathers.Gnash
