Ok guys those of you with tarps made with .93 membrane silpoly. How are they holding up? Going to start a new tarp project and thinking of using membrane in that expensive camo at rsbtr.
Sorry I was responding to the guy above my post. But the video is a guy that makes tarps his handle is wild gear adventures. I looked at some tents/tarps that I own. They all seem to just sew the tie...
Question how well is monolite with ventilation as a mesh? I am considering using it for a bug net.
Interesting, I just saw a guy on youtube do the same with silpoly 1.1. Thought he screwed up. Interesting to say the least.
Anyone had experience with the line loc V from dutchware? Pros/cons?
Ok thanks to all. I have done several prototypes for the tent. Havent started on the hammock yet since it is mine. I figured why not learn on the tent.LOL The roll hem is still giving me fits. Need...

I am statring out to and sorta went overkill on the machine. I bought the singer 4423 great machine but very overkill for what I am doing plus it is **** fast. I could have just gotten a janome mod...
I took mine apart today. I guess singer went the other way with my machine. If anything it looks like they used to much lube!! I didnt add anymore and I wiped up some of the excess. Oh well I it is...
I just bought the singer 4423 in april. Nice machine but if I had to do it over Id get a janome mod 19. The singer is just way to much machine the thing flies. I learned that with the new singer no...

Very nice!
Double-layers keep the mosquitoes from biting thru too. But I think Id pair it with a lighter fabric. Do the hyper d xl with the 1.0 robic xl. That should give you around 440# capacity according to...
Thanks guys. Well I was able to get the pfaff1222E fixed found a presser foot lifter handle locally. Started out bad though I dont think the machine has beeen used in years and years. I guess it took...

I think if I was you id go with a double layer hammock outside layer 1.7 robic xl and inside layer of 1.0 robic xl shouldnt add that much more weight and would give you alot of extra weight capacity...

I dont know anything about sewing machines. Nothing!!! Just watching the utube videos and looking at the material cost it seems a no brainer to make my own stuff. I read some of the threads on here...
