Hi:  Its great today, sun, clear skies, 97 degrees. 

Can you use a parachute sewing machine to sew leather?   I plan on buying jest for the table.  it sews ok, but just was wondering.

Would you please give us the make and model number of the machine? That's the only way you will get an honest answer. A photo would help too, especially if it shows the feet and needle bar. You will certainly need a walking foot machine. Some are more capable than others.

Wizcrafts,  Yes I can get the info, but in a few days.  Its at another persons home.  They are off the grid so to speak.  No phone.  I came across the family while deer hunting. 

Thanks, Howard

Half the sewing machines discussed on this forum are traditional parachute rigging machines.  But they range from light weight 31-15 to 7-33.  And of course leather comes in all sorts of weight.   As said need specifics on machine and what lether you want to sew.
