I'm about to make a DL gathered end with attached bugnet for my father-in-law. He won't be using an underquilt, so I would like to leave an opening through which he can insert a pad between the two layers. For those of you who have made something similar, did you put the opening on the inside or the outside? The inside seems like it would be easier from a design standpoint as far as attaching the zipper is concerned, but do you risk catching a foot or hand in there during the night and potentially tearing the fabric? I'm making this from 1.1 woodland camo.

Thanks!
