Sewn through top quilt...

[mbiraman]

Other then pilfering from other down products where can you get just down. I did a quick search and couldn't find 900fp down. I though hammock gear sold it but I didn't see it there. Neither at diygear or papsmurfs dream hammocks. Any one know?

Thats interesting. Seems like sewn through would be the easiest. I had also considered karo sewn through. What makes a sewn through more difficult?

When sewing with netting, you can see the fabric below which is marked with lines to follow. Sewn-thru requires you to sew two large pieces of fabric without being able to see the underlying layer. Add to that the slipperiness of nylon and interesting (but unwanted) things begin to happen.

Ah makes sense. Thanks

Oh boy I remember those battles... For those tackling sewn thru, layout you chamber lines, place a back light just in front of sewing machine bed, turn out room lights, and viola... you can see both lines and get things nice and straight....

I just use a lighter colored fabric when possible which provides the see through effect. If you have darker fabric, use a silver sharpie so it shows up when looking through.
