Chad,
Here in seattle we work with lots of hemlocks. (mountain, western, canadian) If it is an old collected tree, you can pretty much forget any layering. If it is a strong, young nusery tree, it might be possible, but it will take a while. I suggest using wire instead of ring cutting for hemlocks. A western hemlock will be easier than mountain, but they are both almost impossible in most peoples experience.
