If I'm doing thin hems along the sides of hammocks, I just eyeball it. Usually I fold the selvedge onto itself and then again to get a smooth edge about 1/2" wide. For wider ends, I'll mark them and do the same fold over twice, moving along and pinning about a foot at the time. It was a real struggle when I first started. I thought I was going to rip my hair out.
