    Make sure that you hem all of the edges before you get in it. Trust me on this one. I tried not hemming just to see if I like the design. It took all of about 5 seconds until I was laying on the ground. Just long enough for me to lay in it.
    Is that too much to ask? Girls with frikkin' lasers on their heads?

    now i remember you telling about that. so i'll have to take back what i said about not hemming the edges.
    i don't want to be responsible for an un-wanted trip to the ground<g>.
