Tie a stop knot like fig 8 in one end of the rope. Lay the rope on the webbing. Using a "ladder Stitch" draw the edges of the webbing together encircling the rope. This encases the rope in a webbing "tube" or sufficient length and strength to provide the needed protection and support for the rope. Hand sew through the webbing tube catching the rope and locking it in place. If the locking stitches should break the stop knot would prevent the rope from sliding out the end. I would not want to use this rig as a support system... but it seems to me it could be made to support quite a bit of weight or stress. This would eliminate the bulk of the loops suggested above. (a much stronger system I grant but not as streamlined.)

Ladder stitch (used from drawing openings together while under pressure. Compressing the stuffing into a pillow for example.)
