Best stitches and seams to sew leather in garment construction.
Can I ask if working with leather, do you need a lining for it? Or do you not?
Hi. Yes, in most garments, you will need to put lining in . There are skins that are specifically treated and have nice fish on both sides of the skin, and then you could skip the lining .
awesome video!! really helped me to understand what does what and how
Glad it helped!
Great video tutorial! Do you think it could handle stiffer leather? Like 3 ounce (1.8mm) firm ? Cheers from Canada
It depends strongly on the brand and strength of the machine . This particular Janome won't take anything heavier than soft napa. Old Bernina probably could do it. To be honest, house machines are good for lightweight leather and small projects . For thick and rigid leather, it is better to use a professional/individual walking foot machine. That is what I am using on the rest of my videos.
Great video. Answered all my questions and more…thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This was really helpful! I was worried about having to iron for a crisp edge but these work so much better
I'm glad that you found it helpful ☺️
Hi Kasia! Very interesting video and useful info. Could you please suggest me what type of thread ( nylon, poly...), its thickness, and the length of the stitch both for sewing parts together and for top stitch? Thank you very much for you precious help.
Hi. I use Guttermann threads sizes from 30-80. They're polyester threads.
I'm aiming to achieve a clean, consistent stitch with visible spacing, similar to the iconic stitching on Hermes bags. I'm torn between purchasing an industrial walking foot machine or a heavy-duty domestic sewing machine with a walking foot attachment. IS there a big difference in quality please?
Hi. It depends if you will sew on a regular basis. It's worth investing in an industrial walking foot machine (all my other videos I use industrial). For bag making, I would suggest a free arm leather machine. If you are just playing with ideas, then heavy-duty domestic will do the job depending on the thickness of leather . I must say that my experience and expertise are in leather garment construction, not in bag making, and that are two different fields of working with leather.
Thank You! This video has been very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Fabulous video- I’m waiting for my first machine to be delivered but I already know loads about stitching leather, thankyou Kasia
Have fun!
Can it sew hard leather as well?
Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend it. It might straggle. For thick leather, I would recommend walking foot industrial machine. On my videos (apart of domestic machine video) I used only walking foot machine.
Thank you for your excellent videos! I'm new to working with leather and want to take in a leather skirt that is too big for me. Any suggestions?
If it is soft leather, you should be fine. Are the seams top stitched or glued? If top stitched, it might leave the holes where you run off the seam.
What size thread would I use on soft leather? 3:36
Size 70 or 80 or 30
Very nice and simple, thank you I'm gonna fix my laptop backpack now.🎉
Have fun!
Well explained
Thanks
Can a lx3817 sew leather?
You need to try. All home /domestic machines are very delicate and often not strong enough for leather big projects. A lot also depends on leather thickness and how soft it is.
Kasia, I just wanted to drop a quick THANK YOU for this video! Very helpful (as all your videos are!), and your clear presentation just makes these very enjoyable to view, and very informative. And, I must admit, you have a lovely voice! Anyway, thank you again, and Happy Holidays!
I'm happy you find it useful. Thank you for all the compliments. Merry Christmas 🎅
Thanks so very much for this video. It's exactly what I needed!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for all that you do Kasia. I've learned so much from you :)
Happy to help!
What is the best stitch length to use when topstitching leather? And best tension setting?
Stitch length depends on the thickness of leather and your preference of design, as all top stitching is a fashion feature . Tension needs to be adjusted in relation to thread thickness you will use. Always set your machine on the scrap of the leather you are going to use.
Just discovered your channel. I love it, thank you for your efforts. I subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Whats the name of the foot you're using?
It is a special walking foot leather industrial sewing machine I'm working on.
Thanks!👍👍👍
Welcome!
This was great thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What if it’s really thick leather?
The overlap dart works well in thick leather.
This was a great tutorial 👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you!!
I have a question. The seam on my leather coat has ripped right under the armpit. The leather is fine. How would I go about fixing it?
Hi. Just open the lining in the sleeve on the side of the armhole with the hole and stitch from the inside. Hope that was helpful.
Loved the information. Thank you
Thank you
What do you call the Presser Foot that you’re using?
This is an industrial walking foot machine . So foot is already part of the machine. But if you use a domestic machine, you can use quilting walking foot.
By far the best leather channel I’ve found. Informative, quick to the point, and covers many techniques in one video. Thank you so very much for taking the time to share your knowledge with us!
Thank you so much for your appreciation.
Very good to see things going wrong, then right, and having the explanation why. Such a good video. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this! I was gifted a ton of leather and my husband wants a leather vest for Christmas 😅I haven’t seen in 20 years. I’m praying my great grandmothers singer will work after so many years.
Good luck 👍. Is your Singer machine waking foot or just a lock stitch ?
Thank you for sharing. What kind of thread are you using on this domestic machine?
Thank you for your appreciation. I used ordinary sewing thread 120 Moon Coats . But the best are thicker threads no ,50,70, or 30 Guttermann.
Thank you!
An incredibly helpful and informative video, thank you so much for sharing. I am going to attempt to reupholster my sofa. This gives me much confidence. ❤
Thanks for your comment. I must advise you not to sew upholstery leather on a domestic machine( only if your manual for your machine says so) it will destroy your machine and leather. Home sewing machines can only take up soft lightweight leather for little projects. I would advise using a heavy-duty walking foot machine. In the rest of my videos, I use a professional industrial walking foot machine.
I love Katia. I just wonder if you can use a domestic machine, I soo you other video.
What type of thread do you use on leather the blue leather
Thanks sooo much for sharing your knowledge!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for making these videos. Are we going to see the rest of the garment sewn?
Thanks for your comment. I didn't plan on video with full marketing of the jeans as I posted videos with the most difficult parts of the construction of the jeans. Thank you for asking though, now I will consider making one in the future.
Hi. Thank you for that. I have the same basic machine so this is very helpful. All the best from Devon UK.
You're welcome! All the best from Cambridgeshire
First - compliment: love ur voice, and your manner of instruction. Second - criticism: most (problematically) separating zippers are not due to the slider but instead are due to starter box/insertion pin failure. For anyone wondering, these are the two pieces on either side of the bottom that are prevent the teeth from being able to be pulled apart just as quickly as they were joined together. Internet advertising (ebay, Google, Amazon, etc) will try and sell you a kit to press on new ones; they are pretty much imaginary, IF you put it on just right it might last a week. A complete zipper transplant will be the only real solution.
Thank you for your compliment. Unfortunately, I do not fully agree with your opinion, is not always a case of starting up the zipper. Separation of the teeth mostly happens when the puller is too loose so it is a case of charging the puller or sometimes a bit of squeeze with players will be enough. But which technique to use comes with experience. I am a leather tailoress for over 30 years I think I know a few things by now 😉
In my case was the puller, cause I would compress with plyers and would work for a few days or week, once I changed the puller, my problem was solved.
Thank you Kasia, I’ve just learnt SOOOOO much from these videos 👍
Happy you learned something. Good luck with your sewing projects
Wonderful video Kasia, thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
This is so amazing!! Thank you
You're so welcome!
Thank you for this video, I received a very nice pair of leather trousers for Christmas but I need to take in the thigh area and haven't sewn on leather before and this video took a lot of fear out of the task!
Hi, I use the roller foot but the bottom thread always comes undone. What are you doing to ensure the bottom thread stays and is strong? Thank you.
Make sure your tension screw on bobbin case is tight enough. Also, thicker thread could help.
Just the information I was after. Thanks.
Well done!!! :) Thank you for sharing!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you!
Great video with many examples. I like how you showed the seams on finished products.
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful and easy to understand.
