    Yes -- I think I saw that tip on the RayWay website (Ray Jardine) -- I looked at his quilt kit at one point.

    Thank you for the info on the temp rating! I get what you're saying about the strips and quilting them together. Is there a reason you constructed it with strips instead of just a double layer?

    Okay this is an incredible idea. The two weights of Apex were mostly because of RSBTR's big sale on those two weights right now, but heck yes I should take advantage of having two weights and offset...

    I wasn't planning to do a differential cut (I think that's what you're describing?) but I will add it to the list of mods/methods I am considering. It seems less necessary in synthetic quilts (vs....

    Hmmmmm! Thank you -- I didn't know about the Trail Winder. I will look at it!

    And adhesive -- I hadn't considered that. The plot thickens ...

    Thank you for your thoughts.

    My only thought at the outset is that some silpoly is pretty stretchy. I used the "membrane" silpoly for a tarp and the fabric is actually quite stretchy, which makes a taut pitch difficult. Here is...

    Hello!

    I am super super happy with my Costco Underquilt and I've taken it down to about 38 degrees with a Costco topquilt (though I will admit that was definitely the lower limit of the setup and...

    My thoughts are that you might want to make your first hammock without an integrated bug net. If you decide you don't like the bugnet or don't always want the bugnet, you'll be stuck with it. A...

    Yes -- I have taken my Costco underquilt and top quilt down to the low 40s. For the top quilt I unpicked the crosswise stitches and then installed snaps in an "envelope" arrangement at the bottom to...

  17. Can't find Costco "Double Diamond" quilts any more! Help?

    Hello all,

    About 3 years ago I got a hold of four of the "Costco quilts" and made two sets of top/underquilts. They've been GREAT. I want to get a third quilt to make a mod for my underquilt for...
