CowboyBob Report post Posted October 15, 2019 We used to sell these for doing car upholstery yrs ago,they will sew up to 6 layers of vinyl so yes,it would handle thinner leather up to 5/16".It has a spring loaded walking foot that will make it feed better than a Singer 31-15.Alot of the common parts from the 31-15 fit this model like the bobbins,bobbincase & shuttle.

archerydude Report post Posted October 15, 2019 Hi Glen, Bob, Thanks for the help I knew it would sew car upholstery that's what it was bought for I didn't noif it would handle leather I'd better get bidding as it's up to the dizzying heights of £34 it looks like it's been stored outside in a leaky shed it's covered in surface rust many thanks Conrad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
