I have also found this to be true. if you really hate hemming the edges, get a Hamming foot.

These are realtively inexpensive AND do the job-FAST!
I am making a Hammock for a thru hiker and I have used the Hemming foot to my advantage, as I have built 4 versions trying to save weight ....it really is a great product for the $$$$ if you do a lot of sewing.
