As the title asks, my tarp will not be wide enough so i'm stitching two widths together, my question is will i need to hem the two sides before i flat felled seam them?
Also has anybody encountered problems using double sided tape with the needle jamming up in the bobbin, is needle getting covered in glue and sticky stuff??
Regards
Join the two halves first. Here's a good thread on the progression of making a tarp...http://www.hammockforums.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=35718.
Although I have not used it, I would definitely expect "gumming up" problems from double sided tape.
I say no to hemming first because it doesn't look as good to me. I'm not sure if it would make a difference except for the number of layers at the end of your flat fell seam. It should be easier to hem after.
Double sided tape will gum up a needle if you sew through it right quick. Things can go downhill quick with a gummy needle.
Yeah thats what i thought, apparently machines are precious inside, but i still see blogs where people do it.
As with the hemming i guess a flat felled seam is half way to a rolled hem??
How have you guys cut your fabric??
