[pct-l] Sewing sil-nylon..

[franczazou at hotmail.com ()]

Q:  Is there any special procedure for sewing onto the compression straps on 
my
backpack?  What about sewing the Syl-Nylon?  Can you use a regular ol'
sewing machine?

Hi Jeffrey!  You can use a regular sewing machine for sil-nylon, just make 
sure you have a very small needle, size 70 or 80, and make sure it's new.  
My advice would be to carefully adjust the tension (mine is around 4 i 
think..) to get even stiches and BE PATIENT!!!  The stuff is soooo 
slippery!!
I finished a tarp a few months ago and everything went well, just don't use 
the rip-stop patern as a guide 'cause it's not strait, i learned the hard 
way :)
good luck!
