Hey all. Hope every one is doing well.
So here’s the thing, with zero sewing experience I have decided to dive in head first and attempt to construct an entire gear set for my self and wanted to start this thread as a kind of progress report I can share and a place to gather answers to the plethora of questions I am bound to have.
I have purchased most of the matterials I will need to put together a new 11’ hammock, suspension, Bugnet, down fill top and under quilts, pack cover, rain kilt, and various stuff sacks. (tarp will come later). Tho I have done a fair amount of reasearch via HF and YouTube I still have about 1 000 000 questions.
The first few are on fabric types, thread types, needle selection and stitch length
I have Robic 1.2 for my hammock body, Calendared 1.0 hyper D and 1.1 ripstop nylon for quilts with .67 noseeum mesh for baffles, .9 mesh for Bugnet , Camo 1.6 silpoly pu4000 for water proof projects, and gutermann mara 70 to put it all together.
My question is what is the most suited combination of needle size, thread type and stitch length on each type of fabric or application to use as I want to design each project as professionally and refined as possible.
