Queston about used sewing machines
Re: Queston about used sewing machines
I am considering SevenD DWR for my next tarp project.
I am considering it for a sleeping quilt, right now.
Here are my fabric links:

http://www.seattlefabrics.com/
http://therainshed.com/
http://www.owfinc.com/
http://thru-hiker.com/materials/
I am also considering Shield SilNylon from http://thru-hiker.com/materials/ for the hybrid tarp.
I suspect it may be heavy, like a "footprint" for a tent.

I was watch the public broadcasting station on tv today. They have a program called "Sewing with Nancy" It was about sewing light gauge fabrics, needle selection etc. Maybe the station is available in your area. Watch it every Sat. for some good tips.

Re: Queston about used sewing machines
We get it here. Too much information for me I think. I like ramblinrev's series on youtube. He recorded them in low quality but he covers everything I need to know to make a tarp or hammock.

Re: Queston about used sewing machines
He has a lot of trust in a hammock, or I should say his abilities to make it secure. If i was in his shape I'd be camping on a super wide cot. I have read one person injured his back when his hammock released from the tree. That was only one that I read about. How many other accidents like it have happened? don't know!!!sudden wrote:This one is how i found him. Got me inspired to get going.

Re: Queston about used sewing machines
True, but I can't carry a cot very far
. I have my little campervan now too. Bit by bit it's all coming together.

Re: Queston about used sewing machines
You know how much I like videos.
I found this sail site while looking for material. It has a lot of free videos. Worth a look
http://search.sailrite.com/category/vid ... ngs-sewing
Found them on youtube too
Good to get another perspective on tarps/hammocks and such
