Hell yeah!
When I first asked people about sewing.. they said "just take it to an upholsterer and let them do it".. I really had no clue, I'd never used a machine before.
Then every forum said I needed a vintage industrial Singer.. some $1000 or so. Since I'm not using real leather.. I was determined I could make my parts with a $100 machine.
The first few days were full of jamming, short stitches, tangled thread. But after about a week, I was finishing almost flawless parts.
