SEWING THE SAILS

It took a bit of persuasion to convince the Quilter in the family that no harm would come to her precious machine. No harm did, but Polytarp is quite abrasive, so be careful that it doesn't wear any of the machine surface as it travels over it.

Even the multi layer pieces are easy for a normal domestic sewing machine, although if you have access to a heavier machine, it would be good to be able to use a heavier thread.
