Hi guys
Last step before I get to sewing my down underquilt - yay!
The basic idea I have is that I'll make a sort of a baking dish shape (very flat U shape) and add the fabric that will be snug against the hammock as a sort of lid to that.
Also, I've almost convinced myself that I won't need a suspension channel along the quilt's length; it's a full length quilt, and I think that I can just do with tie-outs, shock cord and a same cordlocks. That way I'd still have a bit of flexibility as to where the quilt hangs but would avoid the weight of 4 meters of shockcord. The obvious drawback would be that this would place additional strain on the long seams of the quilt, so I'd need to inject the thread in such a way that it would strengthen the edge - preferrably without using grosgrain (= that would negate the weight savings...)
Now on the the gist of the question... how would I attach the "lid" and close it off in such a way that the down stays put?
I'm very visual, so if someone could point me to a picture I'd be grateful. I read about roll hems, but don;t really see how this would work here.
