Roomy enough for a uni and junglin' show. Nice work shug. Now I gotta build a bigger tarp.

Yep, abstract sewing no problem. No rush though. I probably won't be using my MacCat Deluxe again until late spring.Originally Posted by Shug
Looks very nice Shug...
Shug, what's the distance between the pullouts?
I'm jealous of your snow. We have ice under water and congealed slush.
I love this idea of the pull-outs. You're a genius, Shug.
I'm looking forward to Shug's film. I'm also looking forward to the results of MacEntyre's experiment with grip clips.

Not really an experiment - this is basically what grip clips are designed to do - add tieouts wherever you need them.
I've used them a LOT with various tarps, since the first weekend I hammocked in heavy wind and had by WB BMJ tarp blowing against the side of my hammock all weekend.
Grip clips make awesome panel pulls.
Just a side note: Some people have trouble with the grip clips on silnylon due to it's slipperiness. If it causes trouble for you, cut a balloon open and use that against the sil for a better grip.
They are a fantastic solution to side tie outs if you're not wanting to sew on permanent ones.

Great job Shug!!!! I'm going to try and do something similar to my JRB 11'x10' Cat Tarp. I bought some Grip Clips to play around with the location of the pull-outs before committing myself by sewing them in permanently.
I was planning to do octagons when I sew them on permanently (because they're easier than a circle); but I saw your comment about circles. Why are circles preferred? Is it just aesthetics or is there some functional difference?
Keep on inspiring us

The road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with weary feet, Until it joins some larger way, Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.

Nice sewing Shug Lovely shot of the inside, looks like a real nice winter ice palace there in the snow.
