I currently use a standard sewing machine so I'm limited to materials. It would be nice to work with leather but I'm not there yet.The machine I use now allows me to sew up to 5 layers of canvas or cordura, but after that, the needle tends to get stuck. In my experiences, it's almost better to use a thinner needle, shorter stitch length, and lighter thread when working with these fabrics.
