French seam
Piping ads some strength to the seam. imo
Windlace is the big piping 1/2'' used on old cars.

Wife redid our entire Carver - sunbrella and vinyl and the interior with an old portable Viking walking foot. Everything, even the drapes.
Can see the work on my photobucket pages.

But now I am going to surprise her with a new servo motor Juki DNU1541-S for her Bday. So she can sew up some more stuff for me. Nice guy, eh?

Thinking the same thing. Now if the wife got one for me it would be a different story.

thats the funny part, I own five sewing machines and let me tell you . . . its a bit of a running gag. But if my girl got me that Juki i would be ecstatic lol


safe to say i am one of the only people in the world that can claim to be a world champion boat racer, ice climber, cook, and able to sew my own sh!t . . . plus I'm an excellent driver lol

I do boat interiors (amatuer). Have a good singer, but really need a walking foot for it. Non paying member but if your curious I can text you some pics. I am doing the rear of a 272 now.

Bought a used Sail rite Ultrafeed LS1 - built in cording and walking foot. Perfect for Vinyl and Sunbrella.
