    Just ordered webbing, shock cord, tree straps and grosgrain from Arrowhead. Got some mosquito netting coming from Barre ArmyNavy Store. Got more Amsteel and a real fid ordered from Redden Marine. Hoping to make the whole shooting match next...

    Bet I do need a larger needle, I bought a whole set so I'll give the denim one a try, thanks for the advice! My material has wrinkles in it from storage though, that's what I'd like to get out.

    I found this on the net about wrinkly nylon:

    1
    Wet your wrinkled nylon garment thoroughly in lukewarm water. Wring out excess water.
    2
    Place wet nylon garment in the dryer. Turn the dryer to permanent press, which prevents wrinkles from forming during the drying process. Check on the garment every 10 minutes and remove when it is almost dry, perhaps a little damp.
    3
    Remove the nylon garment from the dryer and place it on a garment hanger. Hang this in a dry spot. Any wrinkles in the nylon garment will naturally fall out over the course of a couple hours.
    4
    Turn iron on the lowest setting if you are pressed for time and need to iron your nylon garment. Set up an ironing board. Place the nylon garment on the ironing board.
    5
    Iron the nylon garment, working quickly. Do not linger over wrinkled areas since nylon can melt or develop garment holes when exposed to heat.
    6
    Run the iron over the nylon garment, moving the garment as needed, until the wrinkles have been reduced or eliminated. Using an iron is not recommended due to the high likelihood of garment damage; however, if you don't have time to re-wet and dry the garment, you can attempt to iron your nylon clothing.

    When I have to iron out the wrinkles in my hiking shirts (TNF, Techwick, whatever) I wet a bandana, wring it out, place it over the garment and iron on the bandana. Use a medium heat on the iron and re-wet the bandana as necessary. This way, the iron never comes in contact with the material. Works great. I'd give this a try on nylon.
