jsp_333 273 #1 Posted June 5, 2014 I'm sure this is a common occurrence with the lawn sweepers - the stitching holding the sides [a tarp like material] to the bottom have worn out. Pictures to illustrate. Has anyone out there attempted to restitch theirs back together. Have already tried tape and glue to no avail. Any help, suggestions, even identifying the black thingy that appears to hold the sides and bottom together would be appreciated Cheers, John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdleach 525 #4 Posted June 8, 2014 Craig has it right, a decent upholstery shop, marina or RV repair shop should be able to fix you up. Those things are sewn together with a pretty substantial industrial grade sewing machine. Or, you can do as Tankman suggests, and invest in some leather needles and try your hand at sewing it together yourself. There are all manner of different needles and tools to do such work by hand. A web search should come up with a bunch of different vendors. Also, you may look at tarp and awning shops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
