Moderator Wizcrafts Posted July 6, 2014 Moderator Report Posted July 6, 2014 No. It is a domestic, cloth sewing machine. Don't try to sew anything thicker than garment leather on it.

Members Constabulary Posted July 6, 2014 Members Report Posted July 6, 2014 2 layers of soft garment leather will work but this machine is not meant for heavier work. The machine has most like plastic gears and therefore it has its limits so if you don't want to damage it better look for an industrial machine if you want to work with heavier leather.
