    Does that also apply to closing a quilt hook? A couple of the quilt hooks on my Darien UL are a bit loose and my UQ shock cord tends to pop out sometimes. I've been afraid to try and close them any since they're sewn on.

    It is especially easy on the quilt hooks. They are set up got 1/8th and need a little squeeze to make 3/32 fit snug. So no problem. And if one ever breaks (and it won't) I would send you a new one.

    Awesome, thanks. My concern wasn't so much with it breaking, I have a stockpile of your wares, but with it being sewn on and my unwillingness to do surgery on my high dollar purchased hammocks. But I'm not worried now.
