Shock cord channels and corners

[Knoxes]

Yeah, exactly what I was looking for. You guys do some really nice work.

Paper towel and napkin mock up for my 2nd UQ of a corner and channel rolled hem (about the same as the others above).....

Looks amazingly like how I do mine. (Except I do one more step and make mine 3-dimensional, instead of just 2.)

Very nice visual representation with the marked napkin!!!

Thanks. I find paper works well for mockups because it takes a crease nicely.

Hey gmcttr on my first UQ I made my channels wide like you have in your mockup but noticed that the UQ would slide abit too easily. Have you ever had this happen? I noticed you run a bar tack to narrow at the channel at the end. I'm guessing this resolves alot of the issue.
I tried narrowing my channels to create more impedance 'er,... friction on the shock-cord and found it worked very well for keeping the quilt exactly where I want it to stay but still being able to adjust it freely.

..Have you ever had this happen? ...

Yeah, the channels don't need to be that wide at all.

That UQ has cord locks on the grosgrain loop to hold it's position on the suspension. Here's a very poor photo...

oh ok. perfect solution.

Fold the corners inward about 1"-1.5" to create a chamfer. Stitch the fold down. Now you can create your 1/2" channels and they will be perfectly recessed from one another.

Xtrekker,

Very well described!!

Hey, do you need an impedance meter for this? I keep threatening to get one for my boss.
