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.
