That's it: The sum of my knowledge of sail making.
To recap:
- Leech goes the long way on the tarp
- 3" of hem material for a 1.5" doubled over hem
- #16 needles
- Upholstery or Heavy 100% polyester thread - No cotton or blends.
- Lots of thread tension
- Widest possible zig-zag stitches.
Now go forth and make beautiful sails.
