I am new to hammocking but not to DIY and sewing. My husband got a Kammock Mantis UL and after trying it out I bought supplies to make myself a hammock. I noticed that the Kammock uses a chain stitch instead of a regular stitch to make the channels at each end and that the channel in this hammock is weight bearing. Is there any advantage to doing it this way vs the method that is pinned in here? I have a coverstitch machine so I could easily do a chain stitch. I imagine the chain stitch was used because it offers better stretch... Also what is your preferred needle for sewing these materials. I bought HyperD and mesh for making a bug net. Thanks in advance for any advice!
