Quick question for you all.
Often, people sew in their channel ends in a straight line, from one side of the hammock to the other.
People who whip the ends might pull the tails a bit.
My question is: if I sewed in a channel end that was not in a straight line, but rather slightly curved (so that the left and right end of the channel were slightly shorter than the middle of the hammock), would this be equivalent to pulling the tails of a whipped hammock?
Would it: a) give a flatter lie? and b) cause any excessive strain anywhere?
Has anyone done this before? What was the result?
Here's a slightly exaggerated sketch of what I mean.
