Had a few diy hammocks, this is my first with a footbox. I think this had had only perhaps 15-20 nights in it and as you can see from the pic, the seam is starting to get a bit see through! Is this normally a problem, or is it perhaps a sign of too close/far spaced stitching, too much tension on the seam for some reason (i was surprised by how tight the edge of the hammock was on the footbox side!), or is it something else?
I do notice that the end channel on the foot end on the footbox side is slowly starting to come apart from the tightness of the edge too, but that's another matter, from my slack sewing when I decided to shorten the hammock
