Hello all, after several months of stalking the forums I decided I needed to get an account. I'm sorry if this has been covered else where but I couldn't find any information on this. I am planning on attempting to make a clone of the Mac cat tarp standard where I got the instructions via Chicky on the forums. My question is on the hems for the edge of the tarp instead of folding 1 inch grosgain and thread injecting it to "border" the tarp, what if I took 1/4 grosgain and thread- injected it to the fabric then rolled it much like you do for the 1/2 webbing on bridge hammocks? Would that be easier? Would it be stronger or weaker and most importantly would it save a noticeable amount of weight?
Thank you for all of your time and knowledge!
