Cuben fiber tarp need hemming?

[DLP]

Would a DYI .51 cuben fiber tarp need to be hemmed?
Does the hemming add to the functionality and strength? Or is only for looks?

[Starchild]

It may weaken it if sown, but may stop fraying at the ends. I would consider taping it with cuban tape which is permanent.

You will need to put reinforcement patches at all tie outs. And I would use a simple stitched rolled hem. Set your machine so that they are long stitches and you will be fine.

Oh and use microfine needles with cuben.

If it were me, I would glue it, using McNett Sil Net or similar
