Installing Phifertex screen

I'm in the process of installing new Phifertex vinyl mesh screen on the windows of the boat. I've heard (somewhere, and do not remember where) that the edges should be folded over and sewed. But try as I might I cannot figure out why this should be necessary. I understand about cloth -- the edges will fray. But I cannot see this stuff fraying,.

So before I proceed (gotta wait for my snaps to come in from Defender anyway) thought I would just ask if I am making a big mistake by not folding the edges over before installation.
