Poppa Bear is right on the money with this tip. Tonite I just hand-stitched eyes in some brand new 1 inch (25.4 mm) webbing with polyester thread. I tried to break the eye by inserting a 1 inch dowel stick in the eye and pulling with all of my strength, but the eye was rock solid. Sewing something by hand can be so cool!
I think the trick to hand sewing your own webbing eyes is to keep a solid tension on the thread after each stitch.
