Guides for this decision
Keep household expectations realistic
Singer Heavy Duty and Janome HD model names do not establish a universal leather capacity. These household machines deserve evaluation on the precise light construction you intend to sew. A successful decorative seam on a soft scrap does not prove suitability for folded straps or thick intersections. Start with our guide to sewing leather on a normal machine and the model's own instructions.
Check the stitch you will actually use
For straightforward leather assembly, a long menu of decorative stitches is less important than a suitable straight stitch, consistent feeding and manageable speed. Consider the ordinary fabric work you also need the machine to perform; that may be a good reason to choose a household model. Test the intended needle, thread and foot on spare material. Avoid increasing needle size as a substitute for verifying that the machine is appropriate for the seam.
Read the package details
Compare the 4423, 4432, HD1000 and HD3000 as separate models, with their own controls and included accessories. A case or extra foot can be useful, but it should not outweigh a poor result on your main project. Leave money for suitable consumables and instruction. If the planned work is repeated leather bag production, review the beginner machine guide before choosing by familiarity with a domestic brand alone.
