Speaking of thread .............
Under the fender of my wife,s Nissan PU is a rubber splash guard. Over the years the morons at the shop have torn it away from the attachment snaps to get to the oil filter or what ever and now half of it is gone. That leaves the alternator and belt wide open to water and other debris.
The dealer wants well over $50.00 for it two years ago. I refuse to pay that much for a piece of rubber. But I have been unable to find any thin rubber sheeting in IL and don't want to pay for shipping either.
So, yesterday we found some heavy vinyl at JoAnns and bought 2 yds. That cost us 8.00. I don't think one layer is thick enough so I was thinking of doubling it and sewing it together.
I was / am going to use our 201 and probably size 18 needles unless we order in some bigger ones.
I doubt it will have any trouble if I go easy.
Now the question is what thread that this machine can use, should I get that is suitable for outdoor use?
It won't see direct sunlight but it will be exposed to rain, snow, road salt and that kind of stuff.
