My Bear Taco. Home Made Hammock

I just may have to. All the encouragement I'm getting from this hammock has me chomping at the bit to start a couple more projects I have in mind.

Indeed, your rig dose look good, and that camo is going to be mighty popular around here. I had better grab a bunch more before it's all gone.

Definitely a nice looking hammock! Really liking the Bishop Sack...great craftsmanship!

timberghost, that's a great looking hammock you made! I love the fabric and the way you did the edges!

Congratulations to you!

Regarding sewing machines...
In the dim past, in the late 1970s, I was given sage advice by a little old man in a sewing machine store.
[] Avoid Singer / Sears (at that time, they were horrid machines)
[] Trust Janome / New Home (Japanese sewing machine company)

Janome manufactured machines for many other labels / brands. If the machine was "Made in Japan", it was likely to be a Janome.
Their machines were very sturdy, with direct mechanical linkages to the various parts (no belts to slip, stretch or break - the curse of Singer / Sears).

The clunky unstylish models are probably the best value - and most reliable. No drop in bobbin. No finicky gadgets. Avoid the electronic gizmo models, despite their allure.
