Frequently Asked Questions

What fabric works best for a moto jacket?

Genuine leather (1.2-1.4mm), faux leather / PU, or waxed canvas. Use a leather needle and Teflon or walking foot. Hold seams with clips, not pins.

Do I need a walking foot?

Yes, strongly recommended for leather and faux leather. A Teflon foot also works. These prevent the material from sticking and distorting under the presser foot.
