I'm about to begin my first DIY gathered end hammock. I'm using 1.6oz ripstop from DIY Gear Supply. Gonna be a single layer, prolly 10 or 11 ft long & 60" wide. I have an old Singer Athena 2000 sewing machine (took a sewing class tonight) and have a few questions...
1. What would be the correct needle size?
2. What stitch width setting should be used for the hems and channels?
3. What stitch length setting should be used?
4. Is a zigzag or straight stitch better for the hems and/or channels?
(I think the sewing class created more questions than answers)......
I've seen plenty of vids and posts, but don't recall reading or seeing this information. I plan on practicing on spare fabric before attempting the real deal, and would appreciate any & all pointers y'all might have.
Thanks
