You can use your home sewing machine to sew thin pieces of leather. In order to be successful you will need to make a few changes. 1. Thread You will need to use extra strong thread. Don’t use the waxed thread meant for hand sewing as this will mess up your machine. 1 Like

3 walking foot Use will need to change your regular sewing foot to a walking foot. This foot includes a roller at the bottom which helps to move the fabric through the feeder. Almost like it’s walking. If you can’t afford to buy a walking foot stick a bit of tape on your regular sewing foot.

4. Sewing clips Use sewing clips instead of pins to hold layers of leather in place while sewing. The reason for this is to avoid piercing the leather.
