Or, did someone use engine lubricating oil where the additives in the oil have oxidized turned to a gummy varnish which has dried out and caused the bearings to seize up? If so you may be able to soak it and soak it, and work it back and forth until it breaks loose. Then flush it well with good sewing machine oil and keep working at it until it turns easily again. Takes time and lots of patience. I have a machine that had been running fine. Left it sit for about 4 years. When I went to use it, it was seized up. I have to assume a previous owner had used a hardware store cheap oil like 3-in-1. Took a while to get it back into operation.

Pictures may help us understand what is missing and what your machine is doing.

There is no need to post the same post 3 times. One post is very adequate. Possibly you triple posted in error. Only hit the submit button once, then wait for the message to get to the server and then back to you. Each time you hit submit, if you are on a slow connection, or the internet is bogged down, it submits a new post until the server catches up to you.

@NewToSewing moved your post to leather sewing machines. That's where the sewing machine guys hang out.

If you are dying details and you find the dye wicks quickly beyond the line or cut, I find it helps to moisten the leather a little so it doesn't wick so quickly beyond where you want the edge to be. Large items I will dip dye if it fits my container or I can pass it through like a belt for example. I don't bother moistening before hand in cases like that, or when dying something that won't fit. A little oil after helps even out the colour.

@Alan RUNDELL Tried opening the .heic file with a Win 10 tablet and it opened in Photos, so tried to save it as a jpeg. Wouldn't! Did a snip, pasted into 3D Paint, saved as a jpeg. So here is your photo in a file type most of us can view.
