i've tried to get around asking this, but i can't find an answer anywhere.  how do you create an edge or a hem? is there some trick or technique that addresses many edges at once?   if i wanted to just give a plane (a scarf) an edge or hem, how could i go about it?

Hmmm had much the same issue and resolved it this way:

You might try that - there are some other methods mentioned in that thread...

thanks so much!  yeah, it seems like something that should have some sort of script.  like take an object and give its open edges an edge x width parallel to the surface and y width perp to the surface.  well, i hope the bevel script works!
