I am getting ready to do some sewing tomorrow. I have a Te Wa 3/4 length underquilt and have spent a couple of cold nights with a gap under me between my rump and the quilt. I figured out how to fiddle with the suspension using a couple of Nit Ize S-clips I was carrying, but it wasn't an ideal solution.
As you may (or may not) know, the Te-Wa quilts ship with shock cord attached to the corners. This means that the force applied by the shock cord tends to stretch the quilt out lengthwise, but does little to pull it up.
What I plan to do tomorrow is to sew two thin tubes along the edge hems that will allow a shock cord to be threaded through the tubes. This ought to be a 1 hour sewing project (i.e. it will take 2-3 hours). With the cord threaded through, I will be able to easily slide the quilt fore and aft and I am hoping to get a snugger upward pull.
But, I am interested in hearing any thoughts, comments, opinions.
