Unfortunately, i've been cursed with a 5'3 structure so I believe I don't need a 10' hammock.
I used Ed Speer's book to make my first hammock and it turned out to be about 9 feet with the knots in the ends. I took the knots apart to wash it and decided to sew in end channels so it was easier to take apart next time. The short hammock was great ( when I didn't know any better), but at 10 feet it is SOOOOO much more comfortable for me at 5'-4".
The essential part of me can not be discussed here. Ask me in person.
Yes I am about 5' 3" and have worked my way up to a 10 foot netted and a 10' 6" without net. The learning curve works at different speeds for different folks. But good advice taken accelerates the process.
