Hello!

I own a Pfaff Select 3.0 and would like to sew garment leather on it. Other than using a leather needle, are there any other tips I should know about? I don't want to ruin my machine by blindly jumping into things. I'm not looking to use a heavy-weight leather, but a softer, medium-weight one. Thanks. : )

Re: Working on Leather

Dear LadyMoonShine,

I have a Pfaff Select 4.0 myself. This machine is similar to yours. However I have not sewn leather with it yet. I had an older Pfaff that I purchased about 35 years ago that I sometimes sewed leather with as well. I dont remember the model number. But the leather was soft and thin. 

I am interested to see if this Pfaff can sew leather as well. When I find out I will let you know. 

 

Happy sewing,

Nehzat
