Also, if I were to substitute this hem material for a drawstring, would I need to use an elastic drawstring or just a normal string?????

I use the same material on my scope and never had a problem with dew as long as it fits over the telescope snugly.
I sewed a overlap at both ends and used a draw sting. It certainly makes the telescope look nice with nothing sagging.
The peace of mind in knowing that nothing is going to fall out of someones top pocket for instance like a small torch or a eyepiece, and land on the mirror while they are looking through the eyepiece is well worth the effort.
