Excellent and extremely helpful video. I am toying with the idea of putting a window in a tent enclosure. Your video was so well done that it provided many 'tips' I never would have thought of ...how to effectively use the double-sided tape, sew window before cutting out material, etc. SO many helpful details carefully captured in your video. Again, well done. & thanks!

Brilliant. I'm midway through making a new sprayhood so I'm so glad I found that video. I just hope my Singer machine can deal with the window job.

Wonderful videos! I used this yesterday to make a "test window" using a square piece of plastic table cloth sewn into an old piece of nylon material I had. The instruction was perfect and the window came out really nice. The seam stick (I only had double sided tape for scrap booking) works wonders. That really is the trick to make the whole process easy. Thanks so much for the uploads. Very helpful! Hopefully I can order from you over here in Europe. Thanks again!

These videos and instructions are fabulous. I plan on using these to add a window into a bimini for our sailboat. Several years ago we bought a bimini kit (with the stainless framework and also the bimini fabric cover) from Sailrite and their instructions and attention to detail were just what we needed. The bimini turned out wonderfully and we get lots of compliments on it. Thanks Sailrite -- keep up the good work!

@amandaspindel512 3 года назад

I tried something that worked well. I used a vinyl backing instead of bias tape. The double sided tape went down the middle and the stitches were on each side along the backing. This was much better because when my machine goes over the sticky tape it gets gummed up. I would have appreciated some tips on how to cut out the fabric without damaging the window underneath.

You guys make it look sew easy! Your instructions clearly specify cutting the canvas afterwards, along with rationale. I watched this video with optimism that perhaps there might still be a way for me to utilize your products to replace the rear window on the convertible top of my Porsche. Any thoughts?

@SailriteDIY 6 лет назад

Yes, we have had customers who have replaced clear vinyl in convertible cars with success. However, since we have not ever done a project like that I am not sure I can offer advice.

@SailriteDIY 8 лет назад

+SOKO MAN (SOKOMAN) Yes, this technique should be followed even with lighter fabrics, like what you would find in tents.

@Terje338 5 лет назад

When you sew on bias binding on the inside of the canvas, what do you do if you will change out the window later? From what I have learn on a different Sailrite video that canging out the window, you sew on a new window over the old one and then cut out the old window. But if you install binding on the inside, you then will get a binding layer between the old and the new window edge.

@SailriteDIY 5 лет назад

Well you have three options: 1. Make the new window a little bigger, so the old window can be cut out along with the binding. 2. Sew the new window in along with the old binding in place. This will make for a very thick perimeter, so you may not want to pick this option. 3. Cut out the old window and use plenty of double-sided tape (Seamstick for Canvas #129) to baste the new window in the open hole. You will have to work hard to get the canvas to lay without wrinkles before sewing.

@bobamericana3099 6 лет назад

I am looking at making a custom recumbent trike enclosure. most people who have done it use fiberglass. to me, a canvas enclosure would be lighter and just as good-provided the canvas can be waterproofed with scotch guard.... i love the idea of this but is there another way to join this clear vinyl to canvas besides sewing ?

@SailriteDIY 6 лет назад

Im sorry, we do not have any other suggestions besides sewing.

@rscow 11 месяцев назад

I have a large piece of canvas (nylon?) that needs it's plastic window replaced. The original window is probably heat bonded to the fabric. The plastic is torn in a few places and needs to be replaced. So., my plan is to use the instructions in this video (have already ordered supplies from Silrite). I will leave the old plastic window in place to help keep the shape right. My question is how should I go about sizing the window? Cut the old one out when I get to that step? Try to peel the old clear plastic off? Just sew through all of it? I have an industrial sewing machine that I use for leather so I'm now worried about that. Advice? AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS. Very professional, useful and applicable.

@SailriteDIY 11 месяцев назад

When replacing clear vinyl we do as you state..."leave the old plastic in place to keep the shape". We sew a new clear vinyl window over the top of the old then cut away the old after the new is sewn in place. If possible sometimes we sew slightly outside the old clear vinyl, so we can cut away all the old. However, sometimes we don't have a choice and have to sew through all the old assembly and have to leave the part sewn down and cut away the rest. I hope this helps, if not email me: ericg@sailrite.com

How would you install the same window with the option of still having it covered if you needed privacy?

Usually a snap on cover is installed to provide privacy.

@SailriteDIY 4 года назад

Well, for this project we were using a PTFE thread called Tenara and a size #18 needle. PTFE thread is a lifetime thread, most canvas jobs are sewn with a V-92 Polyester Thread and a size #20 needle.

@fredir3596 6 лет назад

What type of needle do you use on the window material? Does it matter what gauge of material?

@SailriteDIY 6 лет назад

We typically use a standard round point (sharp) point sewing machine needle. The size depends on the size thread used. If using V-92 thread use a size #20 if V-138 use a size #21

What is the reason for basting only the interior half of the binding? Would it hurt anything if the whole thing were basted?

So, do you need to make a new dodger if the windows have gone foggy and cracked even though the canvas is still good?

@SailriteDIY Год назад

Hi Oyster, You can replace an older window, but making a new dodger is the cleaner and preferred method. Here is an old video of us replacing a window in a dodger. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zn7OLTqcjWg.html

Nice handcraft work. How do you prevent water from leaking into the inside at the lower end of the window?

@SailriteDIY 4 года назад

It is difficult to stop that from happening. Seamstick basting tape can help prevent the wicking of water into the needle holes. We do sell seam sealers also, they can be helpful also.

@SailriteDIY Год назад

No, the heavy canvas and vinyl will easily clean the double sided tape off the needle when sewing. That is typically only an issue for lighter fabrics.

@CoffeeBacon365 7 лет назад

No waterproofing ? or seam sealing?

@SailriteDIY 7 лет назад

If you use a basting tape (Seamstick for Canvas) in between the vinyl and fabric it will help prevent the leaking of water through the needle holes. If you have sewn through the double sided tape it will expand slightly filling the neeedle holes and it helps prevent leakage. However a seam sealer can also be used if you like like this: www.sailrite.com/Iosso-Seam-Sealer-4oz
