We all know machine embroidery can take a project from ordinary to extraordinary. But machine embroidering on leather? Even some seasoned embroiderers are afraid to take on this feat. However, as with most anything in sewing and embroidery, you just need to use the right products, taking baby steps, and that fear will slowly dissolve as you achieve flawless results. Try your hand at embroidering on leather as you create this trendy Floriani Steam Punk messenger bag. Before you know it, your fear of embroidering on leather will be totally gone and you’ll have a fabulous bag to show for it!
