I'm getting ready to try making another one or two DIY hammocks from the tablecloths, but I was wondering if there's an easy way to add in a structural ridgeline and keep it kind of locked into place. The last one I made, the ridgeline is just kinda looped onto the whoopie slings, so when I take it down I have to be careful the ridgeline doesn't fall off. Would it work to lay the ridgeline onto the gathered ends when I whip them, or would that affect something? I want the whole thing to be one solid package and not have to worry about a friend losing the ridgeline (or even just having it fall off and then not knowing what to do with it), since I'm planning on making one for a gift. Thoughts?
