Hey Thanks for doing this! it's great to have it summarized. Thanks for sharing it too!

As for the heat sealing, I'll spend the time to do it next time, I think it's totally worth it for a quilt...

I'm glad I could help! I've gotten a ton of help from these forums, they've been super helpful to me too. Don't hesitate to ask me any other questions you may have!

After doing a pretty successful tarp I thought I thought I was ready to do a top quilt! I know I'm probably a little crazy for taking on a project like this when the only things I've sewn before this...

What about a parallelogram? have any of you tried that? Any worth while benefits? it'd be just as easy to see as a rectangle too.

Well hey, is anyone that owns a HG under quilt willing to sacrifice it to see what's inside? haha

What's your reasoning behind such small baffles? I think you said they were 3/4"? It looks like you're getting something like 3 in. of loft in there, is there a reason you did the smaller baffles...

So when you say bar tack the shock cord on either end of the channel, how exactly do you do that, do you get the needle to actually penetrate the shock cord or do you straddle it somehow? Do you know...

I'm in the middle of building a down top quilt and I've been trying to think of ways to sew in my draw cord for the foot box and shock cord for the neck draw cord. I want the cord lock in the middle...

Sounds like you need to get an indoor setup as well!

Yeah I had originally wanted to do a hex too but I just kept thinking how most of the time I'm going to be using it in the summer and taking twice the weight, material, and price for the few times...

The main thing I changed was the treatment of the tie outs. I didn't enclose the reinforcement material in the hem like it says to do, I edged it with grosgrain instead, and I also added the...

Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
And that Sounds good to me! I have no problem with you putting it on your site. And I can send you higher resolution photos if you want, I know some of those are a...

Yeah I decided to go with the asym because it uses like half of the material so it's quite a bit cheaper, lighter and smaller and because I live in Utah and it doesn't rain that much it was the...

I took one of the wires out of an old keyboard USB cable and folded it in half. works great for zing it and everyone has some sort of cable laying around that you're not using that can be sacrificed...

With the grosgrain edging

added the silkworms from Dutch. Awesome by the way, they are really simple to use and work...

So this is my first real DIY piece of gear besides a little stuff sack for my cook kit. I had a blast building it and even more testing it out. I roughly used the guidelines for an Asym tarp from...

Dutch's Amsteel comes out to only $0.21 per foot. $5.25 for 25 ft.

or better yet, a video of you rolling a hem! I'm just pretty excited about this because I just made a tarp and the most tedious part was rolling the hem so I know the potential of something like this.

Do you mind sharing a couple drawings or templates for how you did it with dimensions, angles etc.?

They look great! Just curious, why'd you make two? And so similar of sizes?

Can you explain how you did the seams on the inside on both sides? Soon I'm gonna be doing a top quilt and I'm wondering about the seams on the sides and was thinking that the last side would have to...

How about a waterproof pack cover?

thanks guys for the input. I'll post how it goes. I'm just going to do it without the cat cuts because I think you're right about it being such minimal coverage to begin with that cutting into that...

This is one of my concerns. I guess one way to do it would be to just make it without the cat cuts, see if it pitches the way I want it to, assess the amount of coverage, and if I really want to add...

So that does make sense, but it still helps in a hex tarp to put cat cuts in the spaces between the side pull outs and the ridgeline pull outs right? Wouldn't these spaces be a similar condition to...

Hey Everyone,
First of all thank you all for making such an awesome forum! I'm really new to the forums and new to hanging and i've really loved both so far. I've been getting the DIY bug lately...

Duthwaregear.com is awesome to order all the stuff you need. It's been mentioned a couple times already. Btw if you want to use about half the amsteel that you would use to make whoopie slings I'd...
