Hi Adele

Thank you for your answer:

'The Oxford online dictionary defines a galloon as  "a narrow ornamental strip
of fabric, typically a silk braid or piece of lace, used to trim clothing or
finish upholstery"
At dictionary.com I got: "a braid or trimming of worsted, silk or rayon
tinsel, gold or silver, etc., usually having scalloping along both'

fits my need the best, especially when you point out that the 'usually' means
that it can have straight edges too. Other replies carry the comment that
galloon can be used for trims that are applied to fabric, so they also apply.

My thanks also to all of you who took the trouble to answer this tricky
question. I knew there would be some of you with the answer.

Happy lacemaking

Alex
