Another advantage of using a durable sewing machine belt is that it helps reduce the risk of slippage during operation. A worn-out or inferior quality belt can slip or break during sewing, causing disruptions and potentially damaging the machine. By investing in a high-quality sewing machine belt, you can ensure that your machine runs smoothly and efficiently with minimal interruptions.

Choosing the right needle is also crucial. A larger, heavy-duty needle (usually a size 16 or 18) is recommended for piercing the dense fibers of heavy canvas. Furthermore, using a walking foot can enhance the feeding of the fabric, preventing slippage and ensuring smooth stitching. It's important to select appropriate thread; polyester or heavy-duty nylon threads are ideal choices that offer strength and durability.
