I just finished my embroidery and realized I started off center so only left one inch between one side of the border and the edge of the cloth. Can I still hem this, or how else can I finish it? I really like the look of the drawn thread hem - is it still possible to do this?

Without seeing the embroidery it is hard to imagine what would be the best way to finish your project. Unfortunately the drawn thread hem just wouldn't work. Even if you did a single fold hem you still have to remove a few threads and with only one inch of material that would mean right below your last row of stitching. You could add trim, but usually handwork is finished by handwork. I might just prefer a simple, obviously narrow, hem for this piece. You can finish another project with the drawn hem.
