How I Sew Clear plastic to Make a Boat Window

I show an easy way to sew clear plastic onto a canvas enclosure panel to make a window. This can be applied to any boat canvas in which you want to see through - full enclosure, drop curtain, slope back, dodger, connector, bimini etc.

Nicely made. Only one detail is missing. In between, you should stick a transparent adhesive tape around the side, so that water does not pass through, between the sewn materials😉

Thank you for your feedback! I do not add that tape, I have found that the stitching generally seals up in a short time and doesn't leak enough to be a problem. But, I'm sure that varies depending on location, environmental factors, and canvas maintenance, so adding it is a great suggestion :)

They use stainless steel wire to patch a small helicopter's window back together. Same but different.

Hello. A general sewing question. When do you ever need a zig-zag stich in upholstery?
The machine I bought has this feature, but I'm not sure if I will ever need it.

[@j9theupholsterer]

I have never had a zigzag option, so it hasn't been necessary for me. But I imagine there are uses for it in the upholstery and canvas world. If you're into the sail making end of things, it would likely be useful.
