Can you embroider on leather?
1 Answer
You can embroider on leather, but it will be more difficult than embroidering on a softer fabric. Pre-poking holes in the leather before embroidering with thread will make the whole process easier. Plus, embroidering leather by hand is actually considered easier than using a machine is.
