Hi,

Can anyone comment on the general safety of hand-sewn versus machine-sewn webbing? I want to make some tree straps to support me in my hammock (based on the ring-buckle supports design at JustJeff's page), but I don't have a sewing machine. I can hand-stitch the webbing to make a loop at the end, but I have no idea of its durability. If it's not recommended to hand-sew then I can probably borrow the use of a sewing machine, but that will be quite a difficult proposition.

Thanks,

A
