I suppose there are lots of variables, such as thickness and hardness of the leather, to consider.

Unless it is light garment weight leather, using a regular domestic sewing machine is more trouble than it is worth IMNSHO.

I very much prefer hand sewing leather. The thread is generally heavier and stronger than you can use on a sewing machine, and the stitching can be done in such a way that even if the thread breaks, the stitch remains locked.
