Pips, the crinkle taffeta one I ordered from tableclothsfactory claims to be 100% polyester.

...but we miss the slipperiness of nylon.........and I ordered the crinkle taffeta....

The crinkle taffeta is not as slippery as ripstop nylon and is harder to move around in as well.

I wish I could understand your sketch...can you explain it more or post a pic? sorry to ask so much

There's nothing special about the fold, it's just what worked for me this time.

Here's pics of a paper towel mock-up. The last "accordion fold" step will have several more folds using the real thing. Hope this helps....

Thanks for the pics and dang you all, just when I thought I was done buying DIY supplies you all come on here and post more eye candy that I must have. Only problem is is my neighbor only has two good trees to hang from:lol (I dont have any trees in my yard so I use my neighbors-with permission of course).

Now off to buy more cloth and amsteel and webbingdang you all to HE!!

Uh oh... Now I'm worried.

I don't find it that hard to move around in, but I'm a monster so what do I know. But you do slide pretty easy in ripstop.

Try sliding in a mayan! Crinkle-T is a big step up for me in the slippery department

I quickly learned to buy amsteel in 100' increments at a minimum. Your life will be easier if you do to.

BTW, and FYI and all that. This fabric weighs in at roughly 2.6 oz / sy.

Also I washed it and air dried it and it didn't lose any color.
