Tip: Sail Repair



Tip: Sail Repair
Dacron sail material is nasty to work with and sew. It is stiff and slick and hard to keep lined up.

First clean the sail cloth where the seam is going to be with alcohol to get the dirt and any oil off the cloth.  Now you can use double stick tape on the seam track and with the tape you can line up and position the seam where you need it. You can now stich the seam and the tape keeps the seam in position when you sew it.
