I have just started making my own gear, recently learning how to sew a stuff sack. I have a bunch of no-seeum netting left over from a small tent repair and decided my next project is to sew a mosquito headnet. I already have a Sea-to-Summit headnet for reference. Since I’m a sewing newbie, I have some really simple questions.
I cannot figure out what kind of stitch the pieces are joined with. It almost seems like the headnet has the two pieces of netting rolled into eachother and then sewn over with a straight stitch. I’m concerned about durability if I use the wrong stitch type. I’m also trying to figure out a good strategy for the draw string enclosure. For my stuff sacks, I’ve been using the method previously described on BPL but I’m also concerned about durability.
Any advice is appreciated.
