Sewing Machine Requirements

It is important to know your machine and the materials that it can handle. If you are using real or faux leather, we recommend an industrial or heavy-duty domestic sewing machine. If you are using lightweight faux leather, a domestic machine can be used. For best results, keep any woven interfacing out of the seam allowances on a domestic machine.
