First, designs must be digitized specifically for leather [reduced density,
little or no underlay stitching, longer stitch lengths, etc].
The goal when working with leather will be to punch as few holes as possible,
keep those holes as far apart as you can and make the holes as small as you are
able.
Second, there are different types of leather.
Lambskin is very soft and may not take stitching well unless the digitizer and
machine operator know the hide's limits and adhere to those limits.
Pigskin tends to be bit tougher and a little easier to stitch.
Good cow hide is tougher still and is generally a little more forgiving when it
comes to stitching.
Buffalo hide can take the most abuse when it comes to stitching and will be the
easiest to stitch on.
Not only does the type of leather vary but so does the quality. It is possible
that the bags you were asked to stitch, are not suitable for embroidery.
Stitching leather also has hooping and machine requirements which differ from
most embroidery.
If you like, I can email you privately [via this group] a sheet giving general
information on stitching leather.
