Hi everyone,
I'm putting together a down underquilt project, and I have a technical problem with my sewing results. My main worry is that, no matter how I set the tension, pressure length or width of the stitches the fabric displays a lot of stretch holes when put under tension,

now, this doesn't seem very downproof, and I fear that it will shed a lot of down over time, as my old sleeping bag does with even smaller stretch holes. I'm using 1.0 HyperD nylon from RSBTR. I have tried 90/14 and 70/10 needles, also I have tried mara 70 and tera 80 and also some regular polyester Gutterman universal thread, and really nothing seemed to change the result.
I suspect that my problem is the fabric that is too thin and elastic but maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm being overly anxious about some details. I'm not very skilled at sewing so maybe there is something I'm not doing right.
anyone have tips on that?
And, if like I suspect the problem is the fabric, do you think I could improve the result using an heavier fabric or by changing for a polyester blend or full polyester fabric?
Regards.
