How does everyone here hem their noseeum? With some kind of edging? If so, what fabric? I'm looking to make a bugnet with zipper for my DIY hammock...

I use Grossgain ribbon, but bias tape also works well.

Bias tape seemed easier to me but grosgrain is lighter and will last longer.
I just sew a rolled hem. easy peasy.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

Just sewed a rolled hem on tulle for my TED ridge cap. Not as bad as I had thought it would be.

+1 on rolled hem.
An emergency of my own making...is still an emergency.
Grosgrain, I find it makes just as strong a hem as rolling without taking all the time to roll. If I roll a hem it takes me forever cause I use a little ruler and fold and pin then fold again and pin.
I find it faster to sew fabrics together just against each other then go over with grosgrain.

Fold and pin with a ruler? *sarcasm alert* WHY? If we make straight, uniform hems, nobody will believe it was a DIY project!
I just wing it... Pretty or with character, it all works the same...
