Are there special needles for handsewing in leather?
A lot depends on the thickness of the leather. Very thick leather needs to be done with an awl or a leather punch but if you think you can get a needle through it, there are leather needles that are made for that very purpose. The only ones I could find on Amazon were machine needles but you can get at needle for hand sewing leather from here: http://www.rochfordsupply.com/product_listing.asp_Q_CatID_E_414_A_SubCatID_E_469_A_ProdID_E_3176 Good luck!
