If you are constructing such items, there will come a point when you need to attach nylon webbing ends together.
Things You Will Need
-
Prepare the nylon. To do this, unroll the lengths of required nylon that you need from the roll and cut it as straight as possible. With your lighter, sear the ends so the nylon melts slightly to keep fraying from occurring.
-
Overlap the ends of the nylon you need to attach together. You will need to overlap the nylon by one to three inches. Failure to give enough bonding support will result in the nylon pulling apart. The more you overlap, the stronger the bond. Never overlap less than two squares. If your item will be holding weight, overlap the webbing by at least four squares.
-
Stretch stitch the nylon ends together. (To stretch stitch, stitch forward twice and then backwards once.) Stitch across the top first, then go down either side, across the bottom and finally back up to your beginning point.
-
Securely loop the closing end and stitch an "X" in the middle of your square. This "X" adds support for the pull that will occur during tension on the nylon during use.
