Thread: Customizing a Trailer For Hog Fest

Got up this morning and added a sewn on the edge binding to give the canvas a professional edge treatment.



The walls in my log home reflect little light, in fact it's kinda dark. I'm lightening the photos as much as I can without totally washing them out. You can see the Binding Attachment guides the canvas while folding the Binding right before the needle. You can't install binding well without a Binding Attachment. The finished edge is nice and clean.



I did a 3 inch Grommet spacing since this trailer will be pulled on the Interstate.



Using a Press-N-Snap tool with hole punch dies and #1 Grommet install dies I punch the holes and install the grommets.



Of course the canvas fits perfectly. There is no replacement for patterning a canvas job for a perfect fit every time. My hand strength is not what it used to be so the tiewraps will hold the canvas in position while I lace it with Parachute cord, tomorrow - not today. The press-N-Snap killed my hands, with the thumb troubles I'm having on both hands (the abuse never ends) I have to pick my fights these days. Lacing, you must hold tension constantly for about a hour to finish a run this long.
