Stitching bungee lines (for killers)
Not sure if this is in the right category or not but.....Anyone have any tips on stitching loops in the bungee lines for some DIY killers? Can you
just use a sewing machine? Final price will be $10.65 so yeah, I coulda bought actual killers but hey, now I know, right?

KNots work... and yes, you can stitch them as well.
It helps if you make a little cardboard jig to hold the lines in place and keeps the presser foot in the right spot.
Not all threads up to the task though... I'd use a bonded poly or nylon.
What do you do with your foils?

You could whip it too, I imagine. By that I mean taking heavy thread and wrapping it tight around both stands of the bungee for an inch or so where
your would normally sew. Wrap it tight to compress the bungees a bit, then at the end use a needle to pass it back through a few of the exisitng
wraps.

A double overhand stopper knot may work best in bungee cord. On rare occasions, I've had a bungee under load come loose when using only a single
overhand.
If you\'re confused listen to the music play.......
