Here is the situation. I bought three tarps at an auction about a week ago.
One is a mesh fabric 12 ft x 19 ft. It need repair as the binding that would be sewn over the edge of the mesh fabric is ripped out in spots.
I think I should be able to do this on my sewing machine vs taking in somewhere to get it fixed.
I was thinking of buying the heaviest needle I can find-a leather needle.
But what about thread? The heaviest in the stores is blue jean thread.
I actually would like to use this as a shade cloth on my hosta nursery.
So its going to have to be weather proof?? I think you can still buy nylon thread? I could run two spools together into the needle (I think??)
I haven't searched the internet yet to search for thread or should I just contact a awning/sailmaker and see if they could repair????
Any thoughts????
