Anyone have input on this? I've used 1/2 inch quilt edging on a couple of hammocks to strengthen the edge and eliminate the slight width loss that comes from using a rolled hem.

The quilt edging is usually a clearance item at my local Walmart, generally $1 for 3 yards. It's already double folded, so it's easy to work with.

What advantage is there to using grosgrain on a tarp versus the quilt edging?

Thanks.
