Best Needles for Kennmore 385.15108200... and heavy duty fabric
Hi All,
I'm new to this... so I'm learning as I go. I am trying to sew a rather large piece- a sort of awning/biminey cover for a boat. Imagine a large rectangle, with channels sewn into the edges so I can run PVC pipes through them, and then, I guess, holes, either for straps or vertical poles to connect.
My question is around needles. This is heavy duty fabric... think denim... but synthetic and a MUCH tighter weave... and I dont know the best needle type for this. I have heavy duty thread, but the normal needles I have seem to get bogged up with the heavy duty thread I'm using.
Can anyone recommend a specific needle to use? There's like a thousand types and I dont know which to use! I know my ask is somewhat ambiguous, but I'm doing the best I ca.
