That's be it. Lol.

I don't know much about sewing but I've been told that most sewing machines don't handle leather or vinyl well.

Also I'm pretty sure you want your stitches to be parallel or crossed like an x on the front and the part you've got picture on the back for strength reasons...

Not positive this just seems like what I remember
