ChrisE Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 The wind was too strong to go out today, what to do? The stitching on the zips on the cover to Hilda Maud have been slowly rotting away leaving cover flapping and waiting for a spring gale to rip the whole thing to shreds. Today was the day to do something about it. In the dinghy on the river for 9 and straight into a tidy chop leaving me soaked through by the time I got to the boat. Still got there and replaced the stitching, feeling sew, sew smug 😎😎 niggle, Stuie, gjb and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted April 12, 2015 Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Did you stitch by hand Chris, or did you use a machine of some description. The stitching on Sea Dream's cover is slowly disintegrating too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisE Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 Stitched by hand, using a sail makers needle and greased nylon twine. I've got the holes in the fingers to prove it! Jim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuie Posted April 13, 2015 Report Share Posted April 13, 2015 Thanks Chris - It'll take me weeks by hand though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
