Been in boating for years, both salt and fresh. You and your team and the benchmark to quality and communications.

Thank You!! Great video. Thanks for figuring out the best method and then making such a good video with lots of tips and tricks. This will help me a lot.

Thank you for sharing this technique, , this will be a big help for us on our upcoming DIY canvas projects 😀

[@juliastockhausen7173]

I see how it would take a few prototypes to get the technique. That double edged tape makes all the difference. Good teaching

[@nancyingram966]

Great video and a really nice looking smiley zipper install!! I can only imagine all that you went through, to come up with this technique. Thank you so much!!

[@newtoncollyar9098]

Thanks!

Sailrite is the BEST Love my ULTRAFEED Love their products and videos

[@janethavis3495]

Great instructions and another great video. Thanks.

[@SailriteDIY]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found the instructions helpful and enjoyed the video. Your support means a lot to me!

[@karenreneelyles261]

Outstanding demonstration

[@shriramanawkar4799]

I'm very happy to see your work....

[@paulputnam2305]

This video is Awesomeness Extreme! Thank You

[@SailriteDIY]

You are very welcome! It took a lot of prototypes to come up with it.

[@matthiashegihegi9817]

Thanks for this good explanation!

[@lesleyhiddins2067]

Perfect, been looking for this! Thanks for making and sharing this video

[@lindaphillips1481]

Great video!! Would love to have a day to spend sewing with you!!

[@fryloc359]

I keep hoping I see you guys making a replacement pop up camper canvas.

This addresses an important gap that had existed in Sailrite's syllabus. It is a BIG DEAL that you filled this gap and should give Sailrite far more of the respect they deserve. A supplier, teaching and nurturing the trades they supply is exactly what should happen. Kudos Eric, et al!

[@me8246]

thank you for all your investigation and making a video for a water resistant roll up window a.k.a. smiley. I do need some clarification if you can. It looks like this window rolls up on the outside of it and not from the inside (helm or cockpit area).

[@sailingwithjacq]

Awesome video. Love how you show every step of the way creating the project. I am interested in that worker bee now. Still getting to know my Sailrite. Loving it, but it does take some time to get used to that speed not having a worker bee. Smiles. Was planning to take my machine down south but its way to heavy to transport to the boat. And I am worried I may have to pay custom fees to bring it to the Caribbean where our boat is.

[@amandaspindel512]

This is fantastic! It works well for enclosure panels with curved sides also (which is what I used the technique for). I am planning a curved zipper opening in a future panel to be used as a door that will be sideways with the zipper part foreword and the stops aft. Is there a way to adapt this (or some other) technique to make that leak-proof?

[@SailriteDIY]

Thanks for your kind comment! Not sure I understand your request regarding "zipper part forward and stops aft" can you send more info or pictures to me for evaluation? [e-mail]

[@edge1289]

Well done!

[@sakuradag4978]

Thanks.

[@davidwoodley3764]

Whoever came up with the name smiley face was a sadist, never had a smile on my face trying to make the bloody thing!

[@stacydavison2418]

How would I add a screen to this?

[@SailriteDIY]

We attempted to make one with a screen and it did not work. With a lot of prototyping im sure there is a way, but the process we used doesn't seam to allow for a screen.

[@thehogpin4044]

I a pretty smart guy, watched most all your videos and I’d like to say. At 42 minutes in your are as clear as mud. Totally lost you, and WAY over complicated, I will finish video and probably figure it out, but wow, all over the place. First truly hard one to follow.

[@captainkrunch6372]

Be very careful, I ended up cutting my tooth thread one time 😢 😭.
