Perhaps a sewing store that sells mitten hooks?


I have yet to get to one to look at this option myself. I've been thinking of adding a few to the sides of my blackbirds to take some pressure off the UQ suspension.


Going to be a LOT cheaper too.

I looked in one fabric store and did not find any thing. There was a lot of different stuff in the store and I could have easily missed what would have worked. If you find something please post what you find.

Lorax I saw your idea first and was sold those would work and not expensive.
Tony and Savage that is my back up plan and hanging in my basement is my hammock with 4 safety pins with those clipped to then and the quilt under that. Makes it easy to find a good location on the hammock for sown on clips. I may sow on some cloth loops that the little bienrs clip to.
Kevin I purchased the Dutch Hooks that are in your link and found then too small to easily clip to my bungi cord. I never thought of bending them that might work. The quilt hooks look bigger and have a larger loop to sow then on with. Do you know the size of the quilt hooks? It would be nice to know the overall length and the gap size.
More Dutch Info "


It will probably be this weekend before I can measure mine but I just used two pair of needle nose pliers to "tweak" mine to fit on the Hammockgear Incubator underquilt. It has rings sewed on and that is the location that I stitched the quilt hooks at.

I use Dutch Quilt Hooks that I have permanently attached to my Blackbird. Think that I sewed 6 of them on. Really like them.


Dutch has these cut on a waterjet cutter and you can bend them carefully to open them up more. If I remember correctly, Dutch does not charge shipping on them either.
