    Attaching Underquilt.

    So I'm wondering what the best/easiest way to attach a 3/4 Underquilt is....

    Ive gotten some mini Sbiners for the ends because that made sense... but now Im looking at Dutchs quilt hooks and stuff.

    Not sure if its necessary.

    I will be beefing up my stock shock cord I believe due to something I read by OutandBack but...

    Just wondering what everyone else does.

    Triangle thingies can be used with a sock style bug net.

    Actually, now that I look at those, they would probably fit over a bug net. Maybe an email to dutch is in order.

    haha....I'm sitting here wondering to myself....At first I was all AH HA! but then I couldn't visualize why not. Ill shoot him an email anyway.Thanks.

    Seems like the Triangle thingies might be a little more stable?

    I guess I might just choose based on weight...

    I made my triangle thingies out of extra Lash-It! but I'm sure they weigh more than 4 grams!

    Are you buying an UQ or making one? I've been using the stock suspension on the HQ quilts I bought - never found any need for anything else.

    I just ordered a Phoenix on Sunday night from HG
    and I'm super stoked about it.
    I'm not even really sure I will (I have the extra cord)
    but I read something that at the time made some sense about thicker diameter cord and it snugging up a lil better.
