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.



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.


Harry's cover may have torn on the edge. If so, there wouldn't be much
to shove into the throat of the sewing machine.

Of course, just being Harry would make the job much easier. One
wonders how he got his cover torn when he always shrink wraps his
boat.

Lack of use. The UV rays worked their magic and it became weak and
brittle.

The perfect storm..

Sounds right. They do make semi-industrial strength machines, and you can
always take it to a seamstress.

You still aren't comfortable with the idea of taking the cover to a
professional who is skilled at making and repairing boat covers, are you?

Some people have the ability, the skill, and the desire to do things
themselves. Not only does it save money, but when you accomplish
something on your own, there's satisfaction in a job well done. You
wouldn't know about that.


Donnie only had to turn his boat upside down for the winter. I'm sure
he was satisfied and proud of the results.

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.


I think I'll let you have the last word, since you clearly need to have the
last word to feel (oh, wait.. be) a man.

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.

That's the problem, Sweet Cheeks. Most of us don't know anything about
sewing.

Besides, giving Mr. Kim the $45 is good for the economy which the
liberals have totally dicked up.

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?
