Crusty...

Nice job! I'm impressed.
I bought one of the Sailrite straight stitch machines about 10 yrs ago and started doing my own canvas work as well. Well that started a number of folks in the marina wanting small jobs done. I have done a lot of small work over that time and learned a lot just by doing it. The ironic thing is we now own a Mainship Hardtop Trawler with NO CANVAS!?

You sparked an idea to start a canvas sewing tips thread - probably more than a few that have tackled similar projects and learned something - others that are considering it but maybe afraid to start.

My first reaction was to respond w/ a few I've learned but didn't want to hijack your posting. I'll start a new / related canvas thread... why not pass on any tips, tricks, worthwhile tools / attachment findings.
