Thanks.  I happen to have both of your suggestions on hand.  Just wondering if they sell it in gallons? :D

Good morning.  I just took in a small canvas boat cover for restitch.  The guy was in Canada when it all pulled apart.  He duct taped all the seams together, which in turn were exposed to the sun on the trip back.  Is there any way to remove the sticky stuff?  I haven't removed the tape yet, but there is alot of it, and I'm not sure if I will be able to sew through the glue it if I do.  Thanks Carol

I have the sailrite lsz1 and have had a similar problem.  I solved it by wrapping the thread around the post on the top of the machine after putting it through the hole. It end up being like 1/2 a wrap.  Always solved the problem for me, as I could never get the upper tension tight enough.  Hope it works for you.  Carol

Thank you!  I did as you suggested and it worked out fine. I really appreciate the help. You are right, it was a bit cripsy, but he is happy and is trying to get a couple more years out if it.  If you ever need help altering a party dress, let me know.  Carol

I replaced a piece of worn vinyl.  It appears the front has to be stapled to the base, then the loops fed through the seat, held by a wire, then over the back and finished.  He ripped out the back seams trying to pull it on so I just repaired that.  It would be easier if I would have removed it.

Im a small town seamstress that ocasionally bites off more than I know.  I figure I cant learn if I dont try.  I repaired an Artic Cat seat cover for a DIY guy.  He cant get the cover on so he brought it back to me for installation.   Any tips, or tricks would be appreciated before I give it a whirl.  Thanks for your help.  Carol
