I am just about done with an embroidered tablecloth and I want to know about the edge...It's a series of little holes along the entire border of the tablecloth-kind of scalloped in design. Am I supposed to cut that rough edge off or what? I can't upload a photo-Grrr!

I've seen this type of edging on other vintage embroidery pieces but never knew what to do with it...

Talk to me ladies....

Okay....It has a nice scalloped edge-maybe I'll just run a plain stitch along the edge after I cut it off.

Thank you ladies!

Nancy is right, it's for crocheting an edge on. I can't crochet so I cut it off and do a two needle rolled hem on my serger.

Without seeing the cloth, it sounds like the holes are for crocheted lace edging to me.
