Many people find bedsheets too short for a comfortable long term hammock. Not saying they don't work, just too short for me and some others. I would also say that Aida cloth is too rough and nobbly for my liking. That's just a personal preference. I like a smoother surface finish. I'm not as fond of the "hand" that aida has. IOW the way it feels, drapes and works. Those are highly subjective issues though. You might like it.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

I know how that goes. Thanks.
Probably so, for a gathered-end hammock. However, I used a king-size sheet that was 120" long (10 ft) and I didn't make it into a gathered-end or channel hammock. Instead I reinforced the ends and added 24 cords to each end to make Brazilian-style "harnesses" about 2-1/2 ft long, terminating in a loop at each end. Total 15 ft long when finished, with a 10 ft long fabric "bed". This method works great for me, but as you say, maybe not for some others
