Dear Super Sewist,
Have you ever wanted to dive into sewing leather but felt unsure where to begin?
How to Sew Leather + 7 Simple Sewing Tips
You’re not alone! So many sewing friends have asked me whether faux leather is easier to sew than real leather, or how to keep leather from dragging under the presser foot. I knew it was time to create something special—a handy, go-to reference for sewing leather with confidence.
FREE How to Sew Leather + 7 Simple Sewing Tips: A Sewist’s Complete Guide to Real and Faux Leather
Whether you’re working with a buttery-soft goatskin or a chic faux leather roll from your favorite fabric shop, this free tip sheet walks you through everything you need to know.
And here’s the truth:
You can sew leather at home—even on a regular domestic machine—with just a few simple adjustments. All it takes is preparation, the right tools, and a few expert insights!
Here’s just a sampling of what you’ll learn inside:
TIP #1: Never pin leather! Use Wonder Clips™ or basting tape instead—straight pins leave permanent holes in both real and faux leather.
TIP #2: Choose the right needle.
TIP #3: Switch your presser foot. A walking foot, roller foot, or Teflon® foot will help your leather glide effortlessly without sticking or puckering.
And guess what? That’s just the beginning.
This FREEBIE has already become my go-to when planning leather and faux leather projects. I keep it right beside my machine—and you will too!
Get your FREEBIE today and stitch leather with confidence. You deserve to sew boldly, beautifully, and with expert-backed tips at your fingertips.
Happy stitching,
