粗网上口折倒正面压织带 vs. 包边带接头要折光
Again the sewing instructions for textile polyester pieces. Could 折倒正面translate as "fold to the front", so that the first sentence would translate something like: Fold the top of the netting to the front and sew on woven tape?
What confuses me is that the translation I found for 折光, clean finish, has nothing to do with folding but refers to the treatment of the edge.

Fold under the end (of the bias tape)
粗网上口折倒正面压织带 vs. 包边带接头要折光
* Fold the "raw edge" of the netting with the right side (of the project) tugged underneath the "double sided bias tape"
* Fold under the end (of the bias tape) (so it overlaps the starting point of the bias tape).
It might be a little long and I even added a little detail to make it less confusing and easier for reader to understand. I am a sewer and this is how I would write the instruction.
压织带and包边带should be the same term in English (Bias Tape) which is used to make a clean finish of a project to prevent the raw edge from unraveling. It's basically a strip of fabric that's been cut at a 45˚ angle to the weave or grain. This gives it just a little stretchiness, making it possible for bias tape to go around corners without bunching up.

Discussion
Colloquially, "光" means empty as in "用光" (used up) or "吃光" (eaten up).
I just don't get the details of the whole sentence.
The connection part of the hemmed strap should be folded all in???
By the way, I agree to your understanding and translation as to the first sentence, unless some other people might have better knowledge of it. I can only imagine that thus rendering is to seal the opening end of the netting by folding it to the front and sewing the tape on it.
