Hi,

I am looking at making canvas covers for upper deck equipment and the
upholstery - cushions and am seeking guidance on thread and needle
size. I've established that I probably need thread size V69 with a
90/110 or No36 size needle , and perhaps V92 thread with needle size
110/130 or No25.

We use Sunbrella or Stamoid for covers. V92 thread and a No 18 needle.
This is in our industrial machines and the Sailrite UltraFeed LSZ-1. This is
what we use for upholstery as well. Goretex thread is nice for outdoors
to avoid deterioration by UV.


I've tracked down a source of some pretty sturdy heavy duty domestic
style machines - full industrial is just too large - and wonder what
the largest needle/thread combo is.

Doesn't really matter. Nothing you seem to be wanting to do requires
exceptionally large thread or needles. The Sailrite LSZ-1 will do everything
you seem to need.

Good Luck
