KAYAK45 Report post Posted October 9, 2019 No, you do not "NEED" a sewing machine... you want one! Go to the sewing machine forum site as NORTHMOUNT suggests. Spend oh … say.. 5 hours there.. and you will have a half century of knowledge, for free. That's the whole point of this site. OR. spend thousands of $$ on your own and FAIL. Don't ask how I know this to be true! God bless and good luck hunting! Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dikman Report post Posted October 9, 2019 1/4" leather is not considered heavy leather and any upholstery-class machine should handle it, but yes, more info needed - what do you want to sew, thread size, budget etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
