Hi all--

I am doing 12 of the 4' star-sculptured balloon drops at an event on Tuesday. 
 I was wondering if anyone has used a running stitch on these instead of the 
chain stitch that is described in the instructions.  The site is a theater 
and we will have to hoist the nets up into place (about 40') to rig them.  
Using the chain stitch makes me a bit nervous since we won't be able to set 
the loop after it's rigged, we would have to do it before they were raised 
up.  There would be a greater chance of the line snagging on something during 
rigging or setting the rip cord.  I'd really appreciate any advice or 
suggestions you could give me!

Thanks!
