I would like to know how in this world you always come up with what I’m looking for on the day that it pops in my head. Thanks for finding this link. It helps so much.
Great minds obviously think alike! 🙂 –Anne
I was wondering if you’ve actually made this adjustable strap. The straps are “free sliding” so when you load your bag, don’t the straps just slide together? There is no stop like like you have on regular bag slides. On the original post, one person who made this said that after loading her bag, the straps opened to it’s widest setting because the bag was too heavy. Thank you.
