yes you can look for my post on third or fourth page about needles tells you what kind to use

I haven't,but I know you can and with leather needle(I believe)...*4u

U got your anw. misscharlie, only done it one time but turned out just fine. *4U

I know you can,but I have never tried it.Charlie you r amazing and I would guess that soon you will be embroidering leather too. *4u

I beleive there is a tutorial at embroidery library under projects that may be helpful.

Yes, always use a sharp, usually an 80 and if your machine has a start/end from the center, and your design doesn't have a stitch there, you will want to change it to start from the 1st stitch and end with the last stitch or you will have a permanent hold punched in the center of the design.

Thank you for asking the question .I also have learnt from the answers

I use a leather needle... comes out fine.

Charlie, there is one thing to say about embroidery on leather and that is you don't get a second try - but if the first try works - you will love it - I have stitch many projects on leather and have enjoyed everyone of them - I also use a leather needle, as Teri sugguested. *4U

As you can see several of us have tried with success. I read a tutorial before I tried so I had the right needle, start position etc. Can't say I'll do it again any time soon but if the right project comes to mind I'll feel easier about getting started. Good luck.
