hmm- i've got a bit of IX left...and some of stormcrows green nylon... might be worth a test run!
KM- (now where did I leave that thread injector?...)
That's exactly how I make the Molly Mac Gear IX Hammock Sock. The MMG IX Hammock Sock, however, has a shaped boat's bottom as well....make a sort of boat's bow shape to match the hammock's curve

I'm still new to bottom insulation as I am still using an Army poncho liner. Is there a big benefit attaching the underquilt directly to the hammock and not the suspension? I'm concerned that this might lead to quicker wear of the hammock. Also, if you wanted different length quilts, multiple loops would be required.

The discontinued Speer SnugFit works very well attached to a Speer hammock with velcro, and attached to other hammocks using loops. It has a traditional UQ suspension as well.
Being attached to the hammock helps eliminate gaps that leak air. If it makes the UQ fit better, it improves the performance of the insulation.
