So, knowing I needed to sew this last night I wondered outloud what thread I could use. In my email today, in a link, in a sewing/craft newsletter there was an hr utube showing how to make an outdoor awning for a window, I clicked it and in 20 mins in they named the ONLY thread that will not rot in the sun or rain!
Its called Tanura, thats how they say it, dont know if its how its spelled.
Does anyone know what this is(how to spell it)? or how it sews? and if it takes special needles?? Has anyone used this stuff? Thanks for any info you all have, sharet
I got my thread from the same place they sold the sunbrella fabric I bought. Don't remember the name, but they knew what I needed and had it. It is a much thicker thread and you will be winding a lot of bobbins as a result. So, make the bobbins first and the sewing will seem to go faster.
