How to Sew Patches on Leather! Using a Sewing Machine. 

Im totally new to sewing and have a leather vest that i want patches on from charity rides. This would definitely help me to do it myself instead of paying someone to do it and save me money

Back again lol I just can’t stop watching it , it’s soooo helpful but I need that darn glue 😌

Excellent video, thank you, particularly the tip about invisible thread - I've been changing all the colours until now

Excellent video!! It confirmed what I need to do this with a couple of ideas I had not thought about! Thank you!

Oh my gosh. This is an eye opener. I had been sewing patched for a little bit on leather vests and not been going well. I took a leather sewing class some time ago and it said to sew the largest stitch because if not it will ruin the leather. No pinning at all either use leather glue (not easy to find here) or double sided tape (yeah that doesn't work), glue stick (nope doesn't work either). So, wrestle with the patches to stay where they are and then stitch them and later stitches come out. The idea of invisible thread oh my gosh why didn't I think of that. I use it on my blind hemming machine and others. This video will be a game changer for me and have some vests coming later. ❤❤

Great video very informative

You wouldn't believe me I bought 3 pieces of leather at hobby lobby. I cut out the vest pieces. I use a hammer and 6 penny nail to pilot the holes with both pieces together. Then I thread a tapestry needle with leather lace overlap the back & side panel knot the thread then Sew. I always did work.outside the box Lol. I made lots of vests for my own personal use. I hand paint mine with the designs I like to customize. Line up the holes and it will align the pieces and I got a vest. I seal my thread inside with E-6000. This is making an old school vest.

I'm very impressed. Thank you :)

Beginner question: Is the back stitch in the beginning necessary or would the patch stay on if you only backstitched once after overlapping in the corner where you started in the beginning?

Did you put invisible thread in bobbin?

I'm still pretty new to sewing -- but I have a fiance that is looking at me to sew on a whole vest full of patches lol! I have leather needles but they're 90/14; that's what my machine recommends (I have a Janome MC6650) -- Do I need to get the 100/16 needles in your video to go with the nylon invisible thread? Thank you for this! Very informative!

Are you using a bobbin with the monofillamnet as well? Looks like only one need thread is there

Hello I absolutely love how you explain everything ! And. Was wondering if I may ask what glue is that because I really need it lol 😂 thanks again !

What settings should I have on my machine while sewing the patch on? Meaning the LED screen settings.

Hey there - have you ever sewed a PVC patch onto a thicker piece of leather, like a guitar strap or purse? Can that be done with a machine like yours?

Hi! thanks for your video, I was wondering how to sew a patch into leather by hand, with enough force and patience would I be able to sew it without having a sewing machine? thanks for your time!

If the leather needle cuts the material, will it also cut the edge stitching of the patch if one choose to saw through it?

Love your machine- shocked - but understand the price. Need to free motion stitch a bunch of leather patches on leather. have a Pfaff 1245- but don't see that working. Are there more economical alternatives to the Baby lock to accomplish this? Great videos!

So we recently took my vest paid 200$ and she sewed all of my pockets closed ? There’s a way to not sew pockets closed correct?

hi thank you so much for this video where can i buy the feet

I know the stitch length suggested for leather vests is 3.5 but what would the width be?

What kind (brand/model) of sewing machine are you using?

Where do you get the translucent thread. I have looked everywhere for the 4.0 like you said and can't find it.

Wear I can get the presser foot like that for my juki industrial sewing machine? Thank

What kind of glue

I got your feet!

What is the thread you use on patches and needle?

I stitch my patches BY hand

leather like that is too nice to sew stuff on
