Today I've got the day to myself to dial in/sew/adapt my gear, and tried to get the UQ snug to no avail. So I pulled out the channel suspension and did a quick-and-dirty clew setup. I only had enough 1.6mm shock cord lying around for six nettles at each end, but that seems to have been sufficient for my lightweight down ¾ UQ.
The issue I had, however, is being able to shift the UQ up and down the length of the hammock so it just snugs around my shoulders. Not such a problem with full length UQs, I would imagine.
I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with this, but I thought I'd share my solution anyway:

That looks like a simple but great mod,
