Ive been dealing with Sailrite for about 30 years. Ive had some minor
problems but all were promptly remedied, etc. Based on my loooong term
dealing with them, Its very hard for me to fathom such a response from
Sailrite. Sailrite offers the SAME products as found at other suppliers.
I suggest calling and asking for Jim or Matt Grant and speak to them
directly. I've found them to be MOST reputable and ALWAYS go out of
their way to be helpful, etc. (Something isnt right here - perhaps/maybe
you simply ****ed them off with a bad attitude).

BTW for most threads that do bleed onto sails, either "oxyclean" or
oxalic acid is usually the remedy.

I just wanted to let the world know that my brand new sailcover I made
using my sailrite machine, cloth and thread bled all over my mainsail
staining it permanently. I guess blue stains all over the sail won't
slow me down. Sailrite's response was "tough luck". I would suggest
not doing business with these folks. I wish I had my $1500 back!
Life is too short to work with vendors that don't back up their
products. I would suggest going to a reputable canvas shop or buying
products from other sellers (e.g. sailmaker supply)as an alternative.
Live and learn.
