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.

I can see you have never tried to sew the middle of a large canvas cover on
a home sewing machine.

Please show me where I said either a home sewing machine or to do it
himself. I said, try a sewing machine. Lots of people do this for a living.
Find one.

Keep trying. I've heard that if a monkey is left alone long enough with a
typewriter.... No insult intended of course..

Read this post again - top to bottom. You contradict yourself - again.
If you don't have anything of substance to add, it is perfectly OK to STFU.

Oh hell, she probably throws the 10' x 25' piece of canvas right up
there on her Janome 9500 and lets fly. She's 'pretty smart', you know.

Have a Super Christmas and a Spectacular New Year!

You don't get out much, eh? Most covers for small boats aren't made up
from heavy cotton canvas, but from much lighter and thinner poly
fabrics. My wife sewed a small patch on my Parker's poly cover with a
plain old home sewing machine.

Of course, one has to have a competent wife. Perhaps you and herring can
seek our a neighbor's wife. No competent woman would have anything to do
with either of you.

Most small boat covers are still fairly heavy, and most home sewing machines
have a limited throat depth.

I have. When I built my hovercraft, I sewed all of the skirt myself.

I have. When I built my hovercraft, I sewed all of the skirt myself. Most
home machines do not have enough clearance to get a large heavy cover ripped
in the middle in to the machine. Edges are fine, but not the center. My
wife has a Bernina machine about 30 years old. Lots of power and will sew
even naugahyde for the engine pad, but I had a rip in a cover a few years
ago, and could not get the cover in enough to sew it.
