I am about to start my first home made hammock and need some advise,
First off the reason i am making my own is because i am REALLY BIG GUY,6ft3 and 350lbs and i dont feel safe in my hammock that is rated for 400lbs.
What i intend on doing is taking 2 - 12 ft long peices of 70 D ripstop nylon fabric and sewing them together,doubling them up. I have already purchased the fabric in a really nice camo.
One of my concerns is after i sew all 4 sides together and make my channels will the fabric slide around when i am in the hammock
Should i do an X stitch or several long stitches down the middle to stop the fabric from sliding
And if i do one of these extra stitches will it make the feel uncomfortable, like a hard line on my back?
Any and all suggestions are welcome
