How do you sew with hammer beads?

do you mean Hama Beads? It would depend on if you were attempting to sew them as single beads or as fused multibead creations. The short answer is-- anything that has a hole in it can be sewn to fabric. as long as it's weight can be supported by the material you are using to 'sew' it with and the fabric you are sewing it to... you could sew up through fabric string the bead on your sewing material (thread or what have you), and then sew down through the fabric. You may need to make several stitches through heavier beads to secure them. You can also sew up through the hole in whatever item you are using and sew through a smaller bead and then back down through the larger hole (similarly to sewing on a sequin). If you are attempting to sew fused items, sew through multiple holes in the item to secure it flat to the fabric. It is often easiest to sew beads to fabric if it is under tension-- using either a hoop or a scroll frame is really handy, or you can staple it to a frame (which will support a lot more weight if you are doing a very heavy beading project).

Will a regular sewing machine sew heavy canves or thin leather?

It depends on whether your regular sewing machine is a heavy duty machine or not. You can use a machine that is not heavy duty, but you risk damaging the timing, the tension and more. Either way, to sew on canvas you need a heavy duty needle (for denim- a size 16 or 18). To sew leather you need a sharp knife-like needle, it's called a leather needle. For both of these heavy materials you need heavy duty thread, use a longer stitch than you would for fabric, a #4 stitch should be adequate. You may have to lessen or increase the pressure on the foot and the tension, a Teflon or roller foot would also be helpful. Finally, when you sew these, hold the material in front and behind to help guide it. Hope this helps.
