Edging with Beades does make it heavier. Fancyfingers edged one of my capes and it is heavier that the last one she did. I usually just use bias tape to do my girls outfits and other peoples stuff. THe good thing about bias tape when it wears out you can change it and change the colors. On one of my blue outfits that Jolene Redman did it had bias tape it got dirty so I changed it to Silver RIbbon and it really stands out now.
I think that it is a personal choice. I do have fringe on my yellow outfit but it is only on the tail of the eagle. It's keen shaped cape that me and fancyfingers pondered over for a long time. She did and awesome job on it. You can use horse hair to make fringe on your capes too. But you use it spareingly though so you won't look gawdy.
I think that it saves a lot of time when you just use bias tape, but whatever you use I'm sure it will look nice.
