3. Construction factors
• The force generated by the motor system when
trying to drive needles through these materials is
quite immense.
• Therefore, all-metal sewing machines are best for
sewing these materials primarily because sewing
machines that are housed in other material such
as plastic can’t handle these materials without
breaking down.
• Sticking to metal body sewing machines gives
these material workers an easier time sewing
tough or thick materials and also helps them save
money on maintenance of the machines.

4. Motor rating
Sewing machines for heavier materials such as
leather, denim, canvas and upholstery need
powerful motors that are usually rated according
to the amount of currency they draw.
The most common motors are 1.2-amp and 1.5-
amp, but anything less is insufficient.
On the other hand, highly effective motor systems
include precision engineered devices such as
reduced gear systems and ribbed drive belts that
help eliminate the tendency for these materials
to slip when being sewn.

5. Attachment systems
• Almost all sewing machines use the ordinary
feed dog system.
• However, a few heavy duty machines
implement have additional specialty
mechanisms.
• These add-ons are primarily for reducing
friction between sticky materials and the
presser foot as well as improving the ability
for the materials to move along evenly
without bunching up.

6. Walking foot attachment
• A feed foot or walking foot is basically a
combination style foot.
• A walking foot has two presser feet.
• One presser foot is on the outside and the other
one on the inside and they alternate oscillating
up and down as the sewing machine moves the
needle.
• The walking foot ensures that these materials
are always held in place especially when the
needle is puncturing the materials and lifting out
of it.

7. Rolling presser foot attachment
• This is a presser foot attachment that has
small rollers or wheels that allow sticky
material to move forward easily without
sticking to the system.
• However, it is essential to understand that
depending on the type of roller foot,
omnidirectional dewing may be more difficult.
• The leather, denim, canvas or upholstery is
free to move in between these two stages.

8. Walking foot machines
• Walking foot machines are ideal for working with
multiple layers of dense vinyl, tough denim
upholstery and thick leather.
• They allow the stitcher to move around and
zigzag in all directions with ease while still
preventing missed stitches or slippage.
• In addition to the feed dog, the walking foot
machines move the thicker materials with a
combination of several different methods and
they have a pair of presser feet instead of just
one.

9. Needle compatibility
• Some needles are more suitable for sewing tough
materials.
• Needles that have thicker shanks are generally
tougher and they can puncture lather without
snapping or bending.
• On the other hand, they have wider bodies so
they can easily pull the treat through the holes
without snagging the leather on the edges.
• Most general use needles are made to fit into
standard sized holders. However, heavy duty
leather needles are only appropriate for leather
specific sewing machines.

10. Drive configurations
There are many different varieties of walking foot
machines that are classified according to their
drive configurations:
Compound drive or triple feed:
In the triple feed system, movements of the
inside presser foot and needle are synchronized
with the feed dogs.
The machine is suitable for stitching all heavy
materials without causing any stich irregularities

11. Double feed drive
Double feed drive sewing machines move the
material by moving the feed dogs in concert
with the outer presser foot.
This makes it ideal for sewing mark-proof
leather.
Jump feed drive
In these sewing machines, a slotted presser
foot usually lifts up in order to allow the
needle to move the material.
Jump feed drive is ideal for thick harness
projects and leather because it moves the
material with the current stitch.

12. Presser foot feed drive
In this sewing machine, the presser foot has
teeth on the surface.
Although the presser feet in most general use
sewing machines are smooth, this particular feed
has teeth in order to ensure that the pressure
foot always gets a strong grip on the leather.
Unfortunately, the teeth may leave little marks
especially on soft leather that has been vegetable
tanned.

13. Snap feed drive
This system uses the feed dog to move the
material by simply pulling it from the bottom.
The hinge is loaded with springs so when it’s feed
dog drops, the foot lifts and snaps forward.
Snap feed drive works well with projects where
it’s necessary to pivot the leather while sewing.
The ideal machine for sewing largely depends on
the type and thickness of material.
It’s essential to remember that some sewing
machines are more appropriate for common
items such as motorcycle saddle bags and
holsters .
