Heavy duty sewing?

[hatidua]

Does anyone know someone who could sew sails off of sailboats? (heavy dacron)? I'm on the verge of putting a 'shade sail' up over a backyard patio and thought that repurposing an actual sail (cut with a new hem) might be more interesting than a simple rectangle of Sunbrella/Weblon/Stamoid. I'd need four hems and four brass grommets installed in the corners... I guess the local shoe repair guy could do it but he tends to take about 10X longer to do anything than his estimate states.

Google "Denver Tent and Awning", there will be about 4 options to choose from.

There's a guy here at the shop that has an upholstery sewing machine if that would work?

Do you need it to be professional? If not, you can bring over a swatch to try out on our industrial sewing machine. I don't sew, but my wife likes to.

Denver Tent wants $591 to stitch it which is about 4X the cost of a used 40' sailboat mainsail - needless to say, this isn't trending the direction I'd hoped...

Davis Tent & Awning - we have two canvas wall tents from them. One was purchased in '03, the other... 1973. I'm not sure what they can do for you, worth a shot tho.
