How much did you pay for your bimini?

I did mine using a Necchi home sewing machine, which if I remember correctly was a $300 machine.

I have since upgraded to an Omega Walking Foot machine (Sailrite clone) that set me back $500.

The walking foot does make it easier when doing large isenglass panels.

So, even with buying the machine the cost savings are still significant.

Do you do your own bottom jobs?

You are modestly downplaying the talent part, CaptRonn. That's the piece that gets it "right." Not all of us have that eye.

You are being too kind. Correct and cool craftsmanship never comes at the first attempt. My bimini/enclosure is a marvel of Maine craftsmanship and materials of the highest quality.

need to use Gore-Tex thread and 316 ss fasteners or it will not last---sun will eat up the thread and lesser fasteners will corrode
