BigCoopsLeather Report post Posted December 17, 2019 Hey alll! New to doing leather but had initially started thinking that it was going to clear my mind. Now I am into the sewing of it for bags and such and thought that my hd9 would work well. But I’m seem to be having feeding issues. And keeping it straight. Has anyone used this machine yet?

Northmount Report post Posted December 19, 2019 Home domestic machines are not suitable for most leather sewing. They can do okay on a couple layers of thin soft leather. The material being stitched is advanced by the feed dogs under the material. The presser foot holds the material down so the feed dogs can dig in and advance the material. The tighter the presser foot spring is turned down, the more friction there is impeding the material from advancing. You need a walking foot machine for bags and up. (Not a domestic walking foot, they are not the same thing.) Look in the forum for leather sewing machines. Lots of info there about what you need.
