Cobra Steve Report post Posted March 31, 2010 Hi Mike, the Singer 401 A is one of the best domestic machines that Singer made, it is one of the last metal gear machines. The machine will sew somethings that are a 1/4 inch, but not leather. You need a walking foot machine for that job, plus the largest thread that you can use, is a 69. For leather you need at least a 92, and probably a 138. Call Bob and see if he has anything, if not, contact one of the other Sewing Machine dealers on this forum, or myself. Thanks, Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
