    Thread and needle

    I quickly learned that my SBP needs some mods. I want to sew some loops onto the hammock. So would you guys be able to suggest a thread and needle for this task. I plan on using a sewing machine

    Thanks in advance

    100% polyester thread. A mid sized needle. Make sure both are of good quality.
    I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

    Listen to the Rev - we all do!
    I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

    Awesome, thanks Rev
    Any suggestion on material for the tiedowns? I was just going to use what ever nylon webbing I have that seems good enough

    lightweight webbing is probably fine. My thought would be gros grain ribbon but mostly because I already have it.
