Default Canvas Bag

I'm making some custom bags out of some heavy canvas. Will a sewing machine
handle such a tough fabric? Do I need special
equipment/machines/needles/thread?

It depends on the fabric you want to sew, and the type of sewing machine
you want to use. If the canvas is heavy (like old fashioned tarpaulin)
then an old fashioned heavy duty commercial machine will be your best
bet. be careful, though: these beasties care FAAAAAST!

How many do you want to make, and what are they for? If you are making
them out of a lighter weight sail cloth and only doing a couple, you
might get away with using am old heavy domestic machine like a pre 1964
Singer. If you only have a light weight cheap and cheerful modern
domestic, and want to do a dozen or so in a heavier fabric, forget it!
