Vridar

My pro bono (fancy for "free") canvas work for the local marina is paid by giving me their damaged boat covers and upholstery scraps. I'm making a barbecue grill cover from some of them. In the process of attaching salvaged Sunbrella bias binding to salvaged Sunbrella canvas, I didn't get the aged fabric adequately fed into the binding in a few spots. In addition the aged canvas and binding weathers tough in spots making it difficult for my Reliable 2000U-33 to penetrate. (another story)!

Anyway, to my point. The 29K worked out ideally for patching these missed spots. I ripped binding stitches 1 inch forward and back of the missed area, inserted the fabric into the binding and stitched with the 29K. Worked marvelously. Since my sewing skills are not the best on any machine and this one operates so uniquely and the outcome was so pleasing, I have to share. While I have it out, I'm also attaching the tie-down webbing with it. It is also uniquely suited for this. Some may ask why not use it more. Honestly, I had no idea how handy this machine is for special jobs. Voila! If I'm able I'll attach a few pictures.

Edit - I didn't intend to include a picture of the partly finish cover, but since I did I will explain that the binding is not on at the time the picture was taken. Also the webbing tie-downs is intended to stretch the wrinkles from the cover and firmly tighten the fabric around the tanks.
