Hi Magdalena, I’ve only worked with the Singer QS on thin cotton so to be frank, I don’t know but it is a high quality machine and should be able to handle those thicker fabrics like suede.

Hi Kate,

Thank you for your detailed instructions and also information about your new sewing machine. I am in the market to replace a very old Elna sewing machine and wanted to ask you if you think the Singer Quantum Stylist would be able to sew on light weight leather or suede, as I am thinking about replacing a suede cushion with a new vibrant suede. The cushion has sewn edging and is one of those loose type of cushions, which sits at the back of a lounge chair for full back support.

I have read up on the features of the Quantum Stylist and it sounds like it will do so much, but I would like to make sure it can handle something as heavy as the suede. Thanks so much!

Hi Kate,

I’m just getting ready to make this pillow sham and I’m wondering how much you overlapped the pleats as you were making them? It looks like maybe about 1/4 – 1/2″ but you don’t really say. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks so much for the tutorial! I am planning to make a new duvet for my bed, but had no idea where to start when it came to the matching shams. This will make a wonderful project!
