Tips for do-it-yourselfers, for processing the boat fabric:

If you are going to process this boat fabric yourself: keep the coating on the inside. So use the fabric with the ‘nice’ side up(=outwards) and the coated site inward.

Advice for the best sewing thread

For our acrylic fabrics, we recommend 100% bonded polyester industrial sewing thread. Click here for our product range.
This is a special (non-standard!) so-called bonded sailmaker's thread. Due to its special properties, this yarn is by far the most suitable for outdoor applications.
It is durable(very UV-resistant, abrasion-resistant), resistant to salt water, strong and still fairly stretchy.
Our polyester sailmaker yarn can be used for both machine sewing (needle thickness 90-120) and hand sewing
