[Spridgets] Sewing Machine

[Jim Johnson]

Hi Mark,

Look up your local Tarp maker and see what they are using. Carolyn's Dad
used to make tarps for tractor trailers. We only recently sold the nice
machine he used. They are a bit tricky to get timed properly and will go out
of timing if subjected to applications which are too big for them...

Cheers!!
Jim
