Heavy duty sewing shops?

Try looking for places that make awnings or tents. Another place would be automotive upholstery shops.

Look for a place that does boat canvas or tent making. Also auto upholstery or leather work.

Do you have a local canvas shop or a shoe repair shop?

If you haven't figured it out yet, "Upholstery" is the common keyword. Auto upholstery shops generally do tops, as well. Not only will they have the equipment to do the job, but they'll have worked on convertible tops, too, and will understand what's going on.

Seek an upholstery shop or auto upholstery shop, Ig. They'll have walking-foot machines which can take thick, tough stuff.

Ditto a sail shop, but they'll probably want 3x the price for it, unless you find one really needing extra work in the winter...

Alternatively, buy a used walking-foot machine and give it to your wifey. Then help her do it. Remind her that she can make her own convertible tops, drapes, and upholstery covers with it, too! ;)

OK, great, upholstery and shoe repair ought to do it. Thanks guys.

No, no! Go to an Awning Shop! They make _exactly_ what you're seeking to build.

They are not only equipped with the heavy-duty sewing equipment, but are prepared to handle HUGE swaths of material!

If only they were walking-foot, I'd come down and buy one, Gunner.

Do heavy trucks use tarpaulins to cover loads in your country? Maybe ask at a trucking company where the get them or get them repaired.

Or a sailmaker :-)

Truck tarpaulin maker or repairer.

Alas, they aren't walking-foot models.

Then you could repair your Judy blow-up doll yourself!

You'd like them in high heels, wouldn't you?

WOW! A brand new Toyota for $379, delivered! Alas, I don't need a

-new- one at the moment, even at that price. The glare guards aren't a hot selling item any more. I need to design one and start building them for tablets.

The $139 Morse + $39 s/h is a sweet price...

Nah, I'll need a new pressure washer first.
