Ron,
Yes your pic is upside down ... here. That's why I flipped it.
Thanks for the information on the canvas and thread. I have the Sailrite site bookmarked. ( My wife wants one of those walking foot machines badly. )
Check out Top Value Fabrics: {
http://www.topvaluefabrics.com/ } they sell canvas and other fabrics too. We haven't bought from there but have heard good reports about them.
Oh, could you post a pic of that v-69 thread so we'd know what to look for?
Joe
