On to technique. Anybody, what are some good sources for heavy linen or cotton? Ordinary fabric shops don't stock sail-weight cloth. Then there's the stitching problem. Handstitch with a sail repair kit? Leather sewing tools? Or do you just peg the layers down, hammer nails at the stitching points and follow the nail holes with thread. What kind of thread? I have lots of leather thread and artificial sinew. The main thing is, I'm lazy and am looking for the easiest way to do it.[/i]
