I purchased a Brother machine to do the upholstery in the saloon and then various other jobs including leather upholstery for two frazer nashes and my cup model.
A few things that I picked up
1. Even for vinyl, I use leather needles that “punch” the material.
2. Leather is difficult as it always wants to slip over when it is face-to-face. Get a machine with a walking foot if you can.
3. Get a servo drive. The brother always ran too fast and the clutch was unmanageable - but the servo motor transforms it as the speed it infinitely controllable.
