It's a portable
Brother machine. I'm not sure it's going to be real happy with the
projects I have planned Bill, but we'll see. I've run four layers of
Sunbrella through it and it slows down some, but I believe it will work.
I'm just now discovering there are specialized machines that are reasonably
priced to do this work, but frankly, I can't see doing this for a living any
time soon so it'll have to do.
I'm going to sew
various covers--compass, winch, motor, and probably a shade and various storage
bags (segmented for tools, sheets, and like that). I've discovered a
source for inexpensive Sunbrella, the only drawback being the material is roll
ends from projects, so you have to takes what you can gets for colors.
It'll be a grand experiment as I have a reputation for having more thumbs than
fingers. t

Subject: Re: M_Boats: Thread for canvas/Sunbrella projects
I recently bought a new portable Mercury walking foot sewing machine on ebay for $200 delivered. It's a clone of the straight stitch Sailrite machine and works great on Sunbrella. What type machine are you using and what projects?
