The local Walmarts started carrying fabric again.  Some have a coated, cordura like fabric for $5 a yard.

I have had better luck with older used machines.  You will not need 64 different stitches.  Just a straight stitch.  The older machines seem to sew through a thicker pile of fabric.

What machine?

I use my grandmother's 1950s Singer Featherweight.

It turns out that this machine has a cult following.  They are available used (do a Google search), but are not necesarily inexpensive.

Stictches forward and reverse!
