http://joesacher.com/trans-am/building-bicycle-panniers/ A typical pretentious web site about things I've experienced in life, with delusions that it is interesting to everyone else.

You should be fine with what you have. Just use a sharp needle and good nylon thread. I used a cheap $100 consumer sewing machine. You should be fine with what you have.

So, my wife has a decent sewing machine, but she's only used cotton thread and thin fabric. How can we know if the sewing machine is powerful enough for thick material, and what kind of needles would you suggest?

Making midship panniers for my 'bent have been on the back burner for too long - I'm calling the folks at the rain shed tomorrow to get more info on a few fabric options (If the Yellow Keprotec with Kevlar is water resistant/proof, that's what I'm buying :) ). I just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration - when I'm done, I'll probably post it on instructables.com Joe, I just wanted to say thanks!
