Practice First – Always practice on scrap leatherette, before your real project. This Solvent Free Leather will make you more accustomed to the fabric and will help make your sewing abilities better.
Set Up Your Machine: Adjust the tension on your sewing machine to accommodate the thickness of the leather fabric. And, as always, try it out on some scrap first.
Use Clips: Replace pins with clips to hold your fabric together. The smooth leather is also considered by some to be weaker than vinyl and pins can make holes in it.
Walking Foot: You may wish to sew using a walking foot attachment or roller foot on your sewing machine to help the fabric feed through your machine evenly.
