maybe this post will help keep some one off the ground.
last night was the 1st time i got around to using the cc buckles. i had a couple interesting things happen.
1st thing was that all of a sudden i started easing down to the floor. the 1" webbing from wal-mart had begun to tear on one side & the cc buckle had turned caddy-corner. i believe maybe the webbing was just to soft & pulled to one side of the buckle. i changed it out & went to bed.
next i woke to a falling sensation!
i had a question mark pop-up in the back of my mind when i first looked at the box stitchin http .

anyway, as you can see in the picture, the stitching wasn`t enough to do the job. maybe someone can elaborate on proper stitching for a box stitch.
i`m guessing that the sewing mach needs to be set to deliver the most stitch per inch that it can.
i was all ready hanging close to the floor & had a big-ole memory foam pillow under me, so no injuries.
