Question
Mr. Miller,

What is the best way to attach furniture springs to jute webbing?  

Thank you,
Judith

Answer
Hello Judith,

One way is to sew the springs to webbing,  using a strong twine and anchoring the spring in three places.  Another is using metal clips called clinchit clips.  I don't think either is better than the other,  I don't think there is a "best" way just different ways and neither is better than the other.
