Not all sewing machines are created equal when it comes to sewing leather. Ideally, you should use a machine that has a heavy-duty capability. Machines that come with a walking foot are particularly beneficial, as they help to move the leather evenly through the machine. For needles, opt for a leather needle or a heavy-duty needle, as these are designed to pierce through thick materials without breaking. A needle size between 90/14 and 110/18 is usually appropriate for most types of leather.

As we look to the future of hook needle upholstery, it is clear that this enduring craft will continue to evolve. With advancements in materials and tools, as well as the growing appreciation for handmade items, the possibilities for innovation within this traditional framework are limitless. The craft not only preserves the artistry of the past but also paves the way for future generations of artisans to explore and expand the boundaries of creativity.
