Materials Required

66" Draw Cord

Cord Locks Salvaged from the old Draw String

1 Additional Cord Lock

1 Micro-Biner

Tools Required

For the Nest

Seam Ripper

Safety Pin

For All Other JRB Quilts

Either a Soldering Iron OR a Flat Tip Screw Driver

Safety Pin

Procedure

1.  On the Nest CAREFULLY unstitch the draw cords at the inner corner of the "legs" and remove and discarad both cords.  Save both cord locks.  On all other JRB quilts on the foot end (the end with the tags and omni-tape) untie the figure eight knot on one end of the draw cord and remove the cordlock.  Remove the draw cord from the other end and discard.  Save both cordlocks.

1a.  On all JRB quilts except the Nest make a 1/4 inch slit in the edge of the hem at the center point of the end of the quilt using either a hot soldering iron or the heated tip of a flat tip screw driver.

2.  Slide a cordlock on one end of the new 66" draw cord and tie a figure eight knot in the end of the cord.  Pin the safety pin to the opposite end of the draw cord.  Using the safety pin, thread the 66" draw cord through the hem replacing the old draw cord.  On the Nest thread the draw cord continuously through the hem on both "legs".  Slide a cordlock on this end of the 66" draw cord and tie a figure eight knot in the end of the cord.

3.  At the center of the end hem pull the draw cord through the 1/4 inch slit created in step 1a.  Locate the center of the draw cord, fold in half and slide the remaining cordlock over the folded draw cord.  Pull the loop through several inches and tie an overhand knot leaving about a 1 inch loop.  Clip the micro-biner in the loop.

Use

After installing the quilt per the standard installation instructions, using the newly installed center pull draw cord, pull the cord from the center and attach the micro-biner to the suspension cords at the secondary hitch, where they loop around the hammock suspension cord at the end of the hammock.   This will effectively pull the foot end of the quilt up against the hammock bottom.  Adjust from the corner cordlocks as necessary to optimize the attachment.
