| 1400.1 | HOOD CANVAS WORKS(?) | SALEM::KLOTZ | | Mon Nov 27 1989 10:55 | 11 |
| Hi,
I had a new back enclosure made by HOOD CANVAS WORKS INC in
Amesbury this spring - & they used Sunbrella canvas.
Try calling Mark Hood (508) 388-4071 - Mark might be willing
to sell you th canvas.
I know that if he does the work his prices are on the high side
of competitive; but, the quality is there & ya get what ya pay
for.

| You can get Sunbrella canvas from Fabric Works at 32 Mt.Auburn st in
Watertown,tel. (617)926-4353. It comes in different colors and for
46" width it costs $ 12 to $ 13 per yard. I bet you can find it in
other places that sell fabric.

| Good question, I think they are trying to do it either by hand or with
a heavy duty needle in your standard Singer. I'll ask my partner this
weekend.

| We have the regular Singer machine home and my wife had some problems
working on canvas,even with very large needles.Then we read someplace
that it would be much easier if the thread go throu a cotton ball,
before it goes to the needle,that is saturated with silicon.
Now we have a spray can or two and we make sure that the cotton ball is
always wet with it.It works for us much,much better now.
