Would this idea even work?
I was thinking of getting some 1.0 robic xl fabric to make a hammock.
As someone who's approaching the "comfort" level of that fabric and not wanting to go with 1.7 I had an idea.
Could you take the hammock fabric and lay strips (2-3") down the length of the fabric and sew them on before you make the end channel?
see attached image, where yellow is one full layer, green is a layer of the same fabric and black is the area of the channels.

I would think it would hold, you'd do a rolled hem all round and that would attach the sides and the ends and then a 1" or so and a double rolled hem on the ends for the channel, triple stitched.
So would that even work? Ignore the fact that 1.7 robic would only be a little heavier.
