Straight and T pins—used when doing canopy patches to  pin the fabric together. The T pins are used for heavier duty  work, such as container repair.  [Figure 6-35] Navy end tab—used for assisting in hand tacking thick  materials. This is a container end tab from a United States  Navy seat pack modified with a “dimple.” The dimple  allows the needle to be pushed through the material, and the  holes in the tab allow gripping the needle to pull it through.  [Figure 6-36] Waxed nylon “supertack”—used for hand tacking  requirements because it has superior knot holding properties.  It is a waxed, flat, braided nylon cord that serves as a modern  replacement for 6-cord nylon. Typically 80 – 90 pounds  tensile strength, a 50-pound version is also available. This  cord is available in black and white.  [Figure 6-37] Hand tacking needles—variety of sizes of straight and curved  needles used for general sewing are necessary for every tool  kit.
