Used the dacron sailcloth to make several boat style pennants for my son's wedding. This was my first experience with this fabric but it was easy to work with and turned out well.

I ordered some sailcloth to repair Hobie Cat sails. It arrived very quickly and is exactly what I need. I won't be able to comment more until I've actually used it, but I'm impressed with the speed and quality of service.
