Seamstick may build up on the needle, but usually the fabric cleans the needle as it enters and exits the fabric so it is not usually a problem with medium to heavy fabrics. If your using the seamstick or basting tape on lighter fabrics it may not clean the needle well and if the glue builds up on those lighter fabrics you can use a cotton ball with alcohol to clean the needle (usually needed only once per bobbin fill).

Does it help to use titanium needles on your machine? …I ordered some to try but unfortunately they haven’t arrived in time to do this project.

Spraying silicone on your needles, cone of thread, bobbin thread and tension mechanism will keep the seam tape from sticking as well as limiting thread breakage. This is a technique I have used for many years. BE ABSOLUTELY SURE TO HAVE GOOD VENTILATION!!! I usually do this with a large ventilator fan blowing to the exterior of my shop. Or you can spray and walk away for an hour and go have lunch, or do so just before leaving the shop for the evening. I confess I just spray and sew..I know not the best idea but honestly in canvas and upholstery work you will be coming into contact with many chemicals. Try to do so as wisely as possible. All industries have their own exposure risks.

The double sided tape or seamstick can sometime get glue on the needle, but since the fabric is rather tick the needle is cleaned farily well everytime the needle enters and exits the fabric, so build up of glue is usually not an issue. The glue will not effect the bobbin or the hook of your sewing machine.

I was at wit's end trying to figure out the best, strongest way to join the two canvas sheets, and the "flat felled seam" is the way to go. *This is how a "how to" video should be made.*

No ... Thank you! I finished the "awning" yesterday. It has a frame of ribs made from 1 inch fairing stringers and sprayed with tent seal. I'm an "over-kill" type so I put a zig-zag stitch down the 9 foot flat felled seam between the two straight stitches. I don't know if it makes the seam stronger but it looks "beefy" When this one succumbs to U.V. and oxidation I'll do the next one in "Sunbrella" Next project: zippered sleeve for my unprotected roller furled jib. ... more videos to watch! ;)

I almost always use the semi flat felled seam. I like having one unexposed stitch and I recommend #138 Polyester and Not #92 or if you don't mind spending more you could use Teflon thread which will never rot or damage due to UV rays. The full flat fell seam is stronger initially until the UVs get to it which could be 6-8 yrs with #138 polyester in California sunshine as an example. I find myself restitching #138 at approx the 8 yr mark enabling another 4-5 yrs before needing replacement.

As I never even earned my sewing badge as a cassette scout trying to make my girl scout shorts over 30 years ago, I’m not surprised.😂 Because this needs to be a quick project, will only be used to store and camouflage items stored in the baskets, I might simply duck tape the corners together. So, I hope you’ve had a good chuckle.😜

Thank you for this video. I was going to make canvas covers for our patio chairs. Had no idea how to make the seams. I chose # 3 and it is working. I could not find the binding tape. JoAnne, I would have had to order it and it would take a week to get it. Wanted to make them now. Soooo, I use Gorilla mounting tape. It is an inch in width, but that was okay as I drew the 1/2 in line an just put the tape to the edge of piece one and piece 2 went along the 1/2 inch mark. Then folded the edge over it. My Viking 980q with a denim needle went through all of the layers. I had a little issue with the bobbin tension, but it had to do with how I was pushing the fabrinc through Thanks again for your video.

I found some info on SPI max (and how to count them in context) for (US) military parachutes depending on if straight stitches or two-step zigzag stitches are used; but nothing for tree-step zigzag for example, and I would strongly guess that this is only applicable for nylon ripstop and not dacron or x-ply.

My patio chairs seat webbing was polyester canvas, grade I have no idea. I need to replace the webbing that ripped through in the center after exposure to sun and weather. It goes around and between the chairs two dowels, which is nothing like sling chairs as far as I can determine. I have bought Ottertex waterproof canvas to do the work and size 18 needles and upholstery thread that is supposed to be for "outdoors" use, for my Singer heavy duty 4452 machine. I have more than enough fabric and so believe that I should use the full flat felled stitch to do the job, as well as double up on the material to insure it's sturdy enough. My questions are; What size stitch would you recommend (using the S2 setting for doubling the stitch one time through seems ideal), Do you have any experience with the Singer heavy duty machines? Thanks so much, in advance , for your time and efforts to answer as well as for the informational video.

Out of curiousity, what kind of thread do you use and has it been UV treated. This would make a big difference to UV exposure and would be less of a concern. I’ve used the spray on UV treatment on canvas that repeals water. Very cheap and easy to do but make sure you do it away from the boat/etc that you are working on as it dries out on any surface and leaves a mark (which is waterproof!!!).
