Thanks to all for the suggestions, especially Harry and the plum (try
a sewing machine!).

Comments appreciated. I found a shop that'll do the job. Now I'll let
it dry out a bit and take it in.

Again, thanks



I guess you don't know how to use one. You should learn.



Do you really think an average Singer sewing machine is capable of working
with that material? Think again - I've been to the canvas shop. You put
a lot of confidence in the average.


If you knew anything about sewing, you would know that most "household"
machines can sew through quite thick material.


The canvas shops have very different machines than the one my wife has.
Hers was something like $800 so it wasn't from Toys R Us. What can you
add to this from experience?
