Taffeta, cotton or polyester dilemma please help.

[webhanger]

Polyester Taffeta 2.6 Ounce per square yard stretches less than other material, it rips suddenly more than other material. So look thru it at a 150 Watt bulb and look for weak spots. Tablecloth Factory uses China Imported Polyester Taffeta, there are also USA manufactured Table Cloth's that may or may not be an improvement.

The colors are nice...named this one "Scarlet Hues...What Dreams May Come..."

You can get some pretty flat lays.

Perfect input my wife found it very helpful. She is taken in by the pretty taffeta. But is still undecided.

I however am beginning to formulate a plan I hope she will like.

Not sure why that last post doubled up. Weird....

Anyway she wants the look of the taffeta and the convenience of the cotton with the peace of mind. She also is constantly cold and worrying about a weak hammock. So I have developed a plan to combine both into a double layer rig. The taffeta on the outside with the cotton bed inside in a contrasting color. Hopefully it will keep her warmer, put her mind at ease, look good in our room, and sleep comfortably for her without the mad scientist look. I'm hoping that I can effectively slip a under quilt between the layers to warm her up enough. I figure if I make the inner layer an inch or so shorter it will hide the quilt and not compress it. Hopefully it will hold the quilt where it belongs. If not I will add a way to attach it in place.

So the trgger has been pulled the money spent anchors ordered. I hope to be hanging with in a week.
