Hi folks,
Any problems with hand-stitching the above material or is it not a viable option due to it's toughness?
I am quite clearly a newbie so please forgive the question.
Thanks

It's no harder to hand stitch than thin leather or the Vinyl stuff you use for motorbike seats.
If you find it hard on your hands, go buy a "leather stitching glove" where they sell goods for leather crafts.
Do not use "knife point" leather needles, they will cut "slits" in the waterproofing backing material.
