The fabric you have does not have a kilting selvedge, so you may want to cut off the fringe, bind-stitch (sometimes it is called whip-stitching) then turn the hem. Don't worry, our band has a new set of kilts, all of which have a hem, and the only way you can tell is to get real close and turn up the fabric and look.

That series of holes does not mean your length of fabric is defective in anyway. It means that at one point the fabric was stretched on a tenter, using tenterhooks. You've all heard that expression, I'm on tenterhooks?

Btw, those holes will never go away. It's a hem for you boyo!
