You're Doing Underquilts All Wrong. Get A Clew ;-)

[RMC0109]

Really like the design. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime; seems pretty easy to retrofit to an existing underquilt.

I really like your use of snaps for connecting the nettles to the hammock.
I might actually soon start working on mine!

If you are interested in sewing a box-style underquilt with the snap suspension attachment points, FYI I put my pattern and excruciatingly detailed sewing instructions for the box underquilt for the clew (with snaps!!!) online at http://jellyfishreport.blogspot.com/...s-for-box.html

I'm curious what you will come up with.

Thanks jellyfish, this is far and away one of the best DIY instruction videos I have ever seen. Well done and thanks for putting these together for us.

Jellyfish - you are amazing!

Your video was so clear

It is amazingly helpful to have folks with a deeper sewing background on the forums to show different perspectives!!

Thanks. I am glad that it can maybe help someone design their own quilt.

I will go take a look at exactly that! Great motivation, thanks!

I was inspired... I have been sitting on 2 Costco quilts, one that already been cut and overstuffed, ready to be made into underquilts. I saw this post and thought that's it. I took it a step further due to the fact that I didn't have but roughly 20 feet of shock cord. I came up with this.
Which is just braided rope from Lowes. Made my clew 15 inches and finished the other 6 inches off with shock cord...
Throwed together a snake skin on each end and tied it together with grosgrain loops on the quilt.
Haven't had a chance to hang in it yet. We will see... What do you guys think?

I'm interested in hearing about a field test with the costco quilt. It has some obvious limitations, being thin and sewn through.

However, I'm sitting on two of them right now, so if it works, I'm interested in doing the same.

Please post your results when you get around to it.

Thanks for pix!

With your particular project, because of the limited amount of shock cord, probably needs to be a bit shorter to make it snug up. If it doesn't hug against an empty hammock, it needs to be shorter/tighter. Same is true if you are laying in the hammock and can feel any air pockets underneath anywhere. It should be 100% flush with the hammock.

One thing i'm doing with my quilt is tying a 12" section of regular cord onto the ring, then using that to tie onto the hammock. That way if it needs to be a bit tighter or looser, i just retie the attachment cord. I use this to switch between my outdoor WBBB and my indoor Brazilian hammock which is much longer. Might as well put the quilt to good use when inside too!
