One of the most critical features to look for in a sewing machine for both fabric and leather is stitch control. The ability to adjust the stitch length and type is vital when switching between materials. For instance, when sewing leather, a longer stitch length (usually between 3-5mm) helps reduce the chances of puncturing the material too many times, which can lead to tearing. In contrast, for lightweight fabrics, a shorter stitch length provides greater control and a more refined finish.

Unlike standard sewing machines, professional upholstery sewing machines possess robust features that cater to heavier materials such as leather, canvas, and thick fabrics. These machines are built to withstand relentless use, ensuring durability and longevity. One of the standout features is their powerful motors, which provide the strong stitching necessary for thick layers of fabric. This capability is essential when working on large furniture pieces, car interiors, or custom projects that require a solid and secure finish.

There are various types of industrial sewing machines tailored for leatherwork, including walking foot machines, post-bed machines, and cylinder-bed machines.
