I'm using mine for sewing 2 layers of 3-4 oz. leather. I recycled the leather from 4 couches and I'm making outfits for a festival. All of the couch's leather is 3-4 oz. I have a manual leather sewing patcher for sewing really thick layers of leather. I'm using a 110-18 leather needle. The plastic gear in this machine drives the bobbin. The drive train for the needle is all steel, no nylon. I skive the overlap to be sewn and use contact cement. I wet the leather before sewing. The foot is an even feed/"walking" presser foot. Not a real industrial walking foot but it helps and provides a much more presentable seam than the patcher. I'm using Heavy Duty polyester thread from Walmart. They don't use any system of thread identification. For example, I can sew Size 207, T210 thread in my manual patcher using a 180/24 industrial leather needle. I may modify the Singer needle bar for industrial needles if I can access a wider array of leather needles, like the LR for saddle stitching.
This was very educative. It’s my first time handling an electric machine like this and it’s quite difficult for me. I battle with bird nests. I have tried all the tutorials but i still find it difficult to sew with it. Please help and thank you.
Just purchased this model for 9 year old and I to learn. Excited to get started!
Awesome, Thank you for watching 🧵🪡
I have this machine which is my delight because I fixed it by changing a gear inside. Now it is excellent and better than before.
Awesome, Thank you for watching the video. It makes you feel good when you can fix something on your own. Great accomplishment. Have a Blessed Day.

That works well. I found the roll foot works well too. It so awesome that you are making some cool stuff ☺️

Here how to get rid of spaghetti. It's reset your tension.

Put it on the widest length it should gather. Which called the basting stitch.
