I do leather all the time- biker's vests. I keep the 75/11 light-ball point
needles in the machine. You MUST use less density than you would on most other
items, especially the outer edges or it will cut out the design. I also run on
auto acti-feed; but I feed a LOT more thread to the needles. I may have the
column feed as low as 20, and the run/fill feed as high as 116, depending on
the design. The leather I do is thick, so I generally put the presser-foot up
3 clicks. I would only do 2 clicks if the leather is thin. Also the
start-inching thing I set at 1, so the needle gets to going fast- no time for
the thread to pull out. I set the trim lenght to long as well. If you have a
ruined piece or a scrap, I would try these things on that before I did an
expensive piece for a customer. Good luck. PM me if you feel the need.
