A data base of two...
instances dealing with Indy Canvas. (1) I bought a leather wheel cover from them at a great price, only to once again re-acquaint myself with the old adage that you get what you pay for (most of the time). While the quality of the leather was very good, some of the holes punched on either side were not punched all the way through nor did they align well. One of the two lacing needles supplied broke half way through the lacing job requiring me to use one of my own sail needles, and finally, not enough thread was supplied, also requiring me to finish the job with my own thread. The instructions supplied indicated that this would take about 2-3 hrs for a 28-inch wheel. I'm handy and do a lot of my own sewing, but this tedious job (having to punch some of holes again, aligning holes, etc.,) resulted in the job taking more than 10 very tedious hours. (2) A friend of mine sent his old bimini to Indy Canvas to be used to make a new one. When the new one arrived, it didn't fit -- nor did it come close to fitting. He sent it back. A new one arrived some time later that did fit. A few months after he put it into service, some of the securing grommets pulled out. We both believe Indy Canvas either has a poor quality control program, or no quality control program at all. Would either of us use Indy Canvas again? I think not.I do not think Phil uses Indy Canvas on this site, but rather AmeriSeam (1-800-755-7221). They do excellent work.
