Since I can't find a job I thought I might make a piece of gear that I can't find commercially available.
I've never sewn before, but I know there's a machine around here in mothballs, so I have a few questions:
Where can I buy silnylon by the yard? The lady at the local Joann Fabrics said the had "sport nylon", is that the same thing?
What is the best thread to use on a silnylon project that could be exposed to water?
How much overlap should I allow in the fabric to form a seam?
Thanks in advance!
