Having purchased a new adjustable binding foot for my thread injectors I thought I'd give it a whirl.

The tarp is a square tarp 160cm x 160cm in the super light weight spinnaker material.



This is a shot of the new foot. £20 well spent

Finding it really good trying other bits and bobs out on the machine.  A bar strap system will probably be on the cards very soon.

Very cool.  Approx. 5' x 5' isn't very big though.  Do you intend for this tarp to just cover your upper half and let the bivy protect your legs?

Exactly that.  Its also a bit of a demo run just to try out a few techniques with the machine.

Great looking work.  Why the use of grosgrain around the entirety of the edge though?  Have you considered simply putting a seam around it instead?  It's lighter and completely and totally strong enough.
