What is the heaviest thread, in tex, that this machine is designed for?

I haven't tested all thread. T-40 will be safe. Topstitching threads are also fine with an appropriate topstitching needle. Also when using heavier threads decrease the top tension and if using it in the bobbin, it may also need adjusting. Usually I keep two bobbin cases on hand, one specifically for T-50 and the other for specialty threads or heavier threads. I only use this machine for travel or just straight sewing. My answer applies to most home sewing machines with removeable bobbin cases. Happy Stitchin', BAMAY

Can I sew Leather, with this machine?

Yes, you can sew wood :). It is very powerful.

Will it sew fleece, polyester, rayon?

We bought the machine for our daughter, who sews dog collars- 2 layers of cotton webb, hemp or polyester webbing plus 2 layers of decorative ribbon. It sews through all the layers without a problem. She has also sewn 2 layers of jacket lining & it was fine. Something you might want to do is check out a Janome dealer, who might have machines to try out.
