Not sure if this is Hammock forum or make gear forum material but...
I was wondering about making tree huggers...specifically sewing.
I have a few yards of 1" tubular heavy duty nylon webbing and I was wondering how to sew end loops.
Would a bar tack every inch for four or five inches hold weight? And what about thread? Can I use the same polyester thread that I use for seems in quilts and hammocks?
And...what about multiple loops like the Eagles Nest Slap Strap?
Is basic outdoor thread going to hold up with weight on it?
I figure that I could go to a shoe repair shop and have some industrial machine put industrial thread through it...but would rather do it here. Just don't want to hear a quick tear as the bar tacks fail just before I hit the ground in my usual trial and error mode.
