While I have not done any glider interior fabric work (other than a stick boot and some side pockets) I think that I would start at an automotive fabric supplier. Cars would see to be nearly the same environment that we have to live with.

I own a heavy duty Singer sewing machine that seems to be able to get through some pretty heavy stuff. Not too expensive. My $0.02.
