I think that could work fine. May even be easier to install. Only downside I see is that it would be harder to replace as the elastic breaks down with age.

I just want to thank Knotty for these wonderful instructions. I made two via your directions for my roommates. They are more comfortable than my ENO DN. Gonna have to order more fabric cause I want one for myself now.
Glad you found the info helpful SpaceCadet. Once you make one, and discover how easy it is and how comfy they are, you just can't help but make more.
Knotty's instructions are always clear, precise and spot on. Thanks a bunch Knotty!
Does it work to thread the fixed loop of the whoppie sling through the channel and cince it instead of whipping it then wrapping the larksheaded whoopie sling behing the whipping?
Thanks MMM. I prefer to have the whoopie larks headed behind the cinch because it doesn't rely on the strength of the stitching that way. If you do want to run the suspension through the sewn channel you'll want to reinforce it with multiple rows of stitching.
Hallo! I would be glad, to help somebody with my videos about gathering the hammock end.

Thank`s a lot for members, about much information what i had found on that forum...
McV, Check out my pics in my gallery, I actually shortened centerline and edges by channelling on a set of 2 curves, then gathered thru the channels. Only pulled back about 1.5", got a pretty flat and wonderfully comfortable lay.... still did the shock cord adjustors so I could tweak based on what I had in the 'mock with me, but I plan on duplicating for my son's hammock. I might talk myself into pulling back on asym corners however, to force the diagonal lay....
