LOL. Best advice for any project. Not as bad as a drill but I stapled through my finger into a floor joist late into a wiring job. Pulling it out of the wood wasn't bad. Pulling out of the finger however...
So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

I'm sure we all have some good stories to tell about idiotic accidents when tired...........like the time I pushed my thumb into my table saw blade and got about a 1/2" in before I realized what I had done!! It was actually very strange -- the blade was so sharp there was hardly any pain (except for the days following!!), but it took me quite a while to clean up all the blood!!

It's the same lesson from mudding/tapping drywall, it's just so hard not to try to fix it...
Does the stitch length cause any issues? I was playing around with long and short stitch length, the short looks better/tighter but I was wondering if it weakens the vinyl leading to tearing/splitting. Like I said I was just playing around with this one, trying to figure out "how" to cut and sew them all at once. I'm going to experiment with cutting one s curved piece overlapping that onto an uncut piece, that way I can see the lines, and the trim the excess.http://www.instgram.com/jlyons30

Use the correct needle and try a Teflon foot
Use the correct thread, call one of the vinyl suppliers, tell them what you are doing and ask which thread to use.
Vinyl likes longer stitch lengths, start with 6-8 per inch
Use a seam sealer product on your final pieces - helps make it water tight
Tension affects how much tension or tightness is in the bobbin thread and the spool thread. To figure out how to set your tension, stitch a straight line on a scrap piece of the vinyl that you are using. If the tension is correct, the stitches on top of the vinyl and the stitches underneath will be equally tight. If one side is tighter than the other, make small adjustments until they are equal
Put a piece of thin tissue paper underneath your pieces if they start dragging, usually isn’t too much of a problem, but certain machines (tables) will cause drag
Perfect Fit is a good online supplier http://www.perfectfit.com/15992/Marine--Exterior.html
Don't be scared, it isn't like concrete, the material is relatively cheap. Keep practicing
- What kind of machine are you using?

is the hydroturf going in over all the floor including the storage lockers and under the seats? Putting Seadek or hydroturf in my storage lockers is on my winter to do list. can't wait to see how it comes out.

Just in the main floor area, including the walk way and front area. My ballast covers those other areas so it's unseen..
