Hi Susan,
I have used light weight Ultrasuede as a working cloth with a hole cut
in the center. It works nicely as it doesn't ravel and so doesn't need
to be hemmed, however I did find that it sheds a bit. Perhaps I should
have pre-washed it....maybe I'll find it, wash it, and give it another
try. As to the "kidney shaped" leather, the elbow patch would not work
as a much larger piece is needed. The leather lays under the bobbins
and is more of a half circle with a small half circle cut out of the
center of the straight edge....making sort of a "U" shape. If you have
the Fouriscot Cluny de Brioude book, it is pictured there.

Additionally, slipping was mentioned so I am wondering, if synthetic
suede
such as the high grade of Ultrasuede would work..... I don't think it
would shed, as when sewing it, it isn't a problem, and.......
Occasionally stores now sell smaller pieces for decorations and elbow
patches,
etc which may be large enough to get your kidney shape from.
