What Type Presser Feet For Lightweight/medium Leather?

Recommended Posts

Can someone explain what type presser feet (presser foot sets?) are typical for sewing leather, and what their uses are?

The set that came with my machine has a single-toe outer foot (toe on right) and an inner foot that seems fitted to that (slight curve at tip of inner foot, bending toward toe of outer foot).

My first projects will be small bags of a very simple design using supple leather that is, I believe, about 1 oz. (1/16" thick, or so). Think of a paper lunch bag in leather.

I won't be using zippers. I will have the seam outward, so will be sewing close to the edge of the leather.

I know there are single-toe and double-toe outer feet, but that's about it.

I should mention, the machine in question is a Consew 206RB-3. I only have the one foot set, and it doesn't seem to be very versatile.

Well there'sw the zipper feet were either the left or right toe is off,we also have edge guide feet that have a builtin edge guide that will let you sew 1/8",3/16" or 1/4" from the edge.Then there is the cording or piping feet that come in sizes 1/8-3/4"
