The Upholstery Forum

just stitched up my first cover, well most of it. I have the outside edge/perimeter to stitch up. Sure was a battle getting it through the 12" opening in the machine, a long are and bigger table would have been nice. I used the Tenara on the exposed thread for the top stitch and the french stitch. I think basting tape would have been nice to have as well, just to keep the slippery material together. All in all, it came out good and will do it's job.

pics?

I like basting tape when it works but sometimes with the slicker materials I find it easier to mark a line to fold to and don’t bother with the tape. I’ve been thinking of getting a spool of Tenera to see how my machine likes it.

Basting tape didn't work very well, learning curve for sure. it looks great in a video, kind of like the Magic Egg Peeler, but not so good in real life.

boat covers are not fun. Lol
