Title: Tonneau cover clips
Post by: jsquail on June 17, 2011, 05:20:11 pm
The other local canvas shop told my neighbor they couldn't be sewn but there are needle holes in them. So I have to ask the obvious question, how hard are these things to sew?

My Singer 132-k6 has not had any problem doing those sort of jobs, those big old machines are handy if you do auto or canvas work.

I've sewn them with my singer 11 when my friennds would Cooke loose.  I don't know where to buy them.

you find similar sort of heavy plastic fasteners on car seats. I try and reuse the old ones as i have no clue where you would get replacements.
