Hi Everyone,
My wife and I just purchased a 1989 268 Sundancer that we're in the process of restoring. One of the many projects on our list is to re-upholster the cabin area (V-berth, mid-berth and table cushions). We anticipate using a Sunbrella or similar material. I'm planning on purchasing a used, heavy duty/industrial type sewing machine and was wondering if anyone with experience can provide input as to what type of machine to look for. To date, neither my wife or I have any experience sewing.
Also, any recommendations of sewing techniques, books or videos are appreciated!
Thanks for your input,
Matt
