I don't see why they would not work for that. They should be able to handle the weight of the burlap

Hmmm. They are sturdy -- we have only had weiht of 185 in hem. Seem ok for that and could probably hold more

I just ironed mine last week before a shoot. You can steam also and another trick of wetting the muslin while it's hanging is said to work - though - I have not tried that one. The real trick is managing 20 ft. of material...

All you are buying is the raw fabric. Sorta like when you buy the fabric for a screen door. If you want to make the fabric into a curtain or something, you will have to sew it (or have it sewn) and fasten it. On mine, I sewed a 1.5" double hem across the top. I heated the tip of a screw driver and melted holes 12" apart so I could run screws though it to screw to a rafter. I ran a 1" hem down both sides to give it a clean, strong edge. Then I sewed a 2.5" hem in the bottom and ran a piece of PVC tube though it to secure the bottom. I can also roll it up around the PVC tube inside the bottom hem..

Haven't had them long enough to say, but for coarse fabrics like denim, I'm sure they'll work. Cotton or wool, maybe. I have some hangers similar in design, but about twice as thick. They work pretty well.

I would think it would work, it is not rough so it should not mess up your garment.

My experience is that the Distinctive a narrow Rolled Hem Foot is good for heming, but a bit of a challenge when turning corners where there's usually thickness of the fabric. Will a bit of practice and patience you might get it to work for you.

I tried it with the white muslin, and I suggest you don't. It was more wrinkled coming out than into the washer and dryer. My wife had a steamer unit that did the best when the muslin was hanging on the cross-beam. I suggest you do the same.

It should work okay as long as the draping is not too heavy. I use fabric I bought from a fabric store. I used all but one of the extension bars.

It is in between. It does move with the wind but does not flop around on its own. You could probably hang light weight items but not sure how it would affect the integrity of the weaving.

That's exactly what it was designed to do. If your curtains have a hanging loop sewn into one end, just slide the horizontal bar through the loop, and set it onto the upright poles. If not, then a package of inexpensive clamps will hold any fabric in place. This is what I use: Cheaplights 6 PCS 3.75" Spring Clamps

I hung mine from just the top for a while and it worked fine, almost no wrinkles. It has to be a very straight and tight rope in order for it to work and remain wrinkle free, but I think it should be possible.

Ours fit perfectly so I don't recall looking for a way to tighten in the hem. Just put on for the second season and is in good condition after all the snow and wind last winter.

It should. I've used it to temporarily "hem up" the sleeves of a sweater and that worked very well.

Harbor Freight has a good kit w/ rings & twine, but I folded mine in 1/2 and used a wooden rod @ the top & bottom. I just hung the top & strung the bottom. I also stapled some to a wooden door, worked fine. This is all outdoor if you didn't know.

I do a lot of hemming and alterations, evan tried triple layer denim ,works fine for me. If you have dexterous hands I imagine it should work.

I think it would work well. Just make sure you have extra moisture on your ends :)
