My trusty Scholastic 6704 sewed it right back on with no hesitation.

try it and you'll be surprised. The leather that I tried it on is the heavy kind and not the garment type leather. And I even used just the regular singer needle and not the needle for leather.

It works better if you do use the leather needle and yes they will sew heavy leather but for how long? Some times the foot will raise and then I worry what is going on if it doesn't have enough pressure to hold things down. The older heavy machines work best and to be sure it is a good idea to use a machine set up with a dedicated walking foot. If you are sewing for a task use a machine that is designed for a task.
