Modular Costco UQ

I used 2 throws to make a modular UQ that comfortably got me down into the mid 30s last weekend. Here is the original thread https://www.hammockforums.net/forum/...18#post1563918

Thanks Stanley. Why did you choose to not seam rip the UQ? Any regrets using the snaps you chose? Any advice for me using them in my project?

I removed all of the long seams and shook the down to the width I wanted and sewed it up. That compresses the down into a smaller area. Can't do that with the baffles running the other way. Wanted the full length, but only needed 2/3 of the width. Most people claim these are good into the upper 40's, hopefully down to 30 with two offsetting layers.

ok that makes sense...duh :-D

I have used KAMsnaps to make a foot box in a TQ. I bought a kit from Amazon for less then $25 and have been very happy with holding strength. The kit came with everything I needed and 8 colors. I was able to match my fabric colors. I was concerned with using plastic for snaps, but they are holding up well. I've been using them for things around the house now.

I did not seam rip the UQ because I started working on it before I read anything about seam ripping. I did seam rip the TQ I made. I have no regrets using kamsnaps I chose. So far they are holding up fine. You will probably need to experiment with how many snaps to use to securely attach the two layers. Good luck with your project!

Thanks for the feedback.
