Hello everyone,
I tried out how a common whipping for HM and my DIY Wooki is going to work.
At first, I sew my hammock and DIY Wooki to exactly the same length, each with tunnels at the ends. Then I pulled two identical loops through the tunnels at one end of hammock and UQ and hung both parts on a hook. As a result, hammock and Wooki were aligned exactly with each other, both in terms of position and slight curvature. Then I basically did a standard Warbonnet-whipping through the tunnel of the hammock, but I included down the fabric of the underquilt. I repeated the procedure at the other end and attached Amsteel loops at each side - done.
The result looks like this:

After meanwhile about 20 nights I can say that the effort was worth it. The underquilt fits perfectly, even a little better than the "normal" attachment method. It takes about 15 minutes to loosen the whipping and redo it, if you want to wash the hammock.
I can recommend this for DIYers.
