frise à broder

French to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion sewing, fabrics
This term comes from a procedure describing how to do smocking. It seems to be is a type of stitch for embroidering edges.

CONTEXT:
...

Lorsque tous les fils de fronces ont été tirés, attachez les fils flottants aux extrémités des rangs, deux par deux, afin de maintenir les fronces en place.

Réglez la machine à coudre sur la *frise à broder* de votre choix. Enfilez du fil à broder spécial machine dans un coloris coordonné ou contrasté.

Placez le pied-presseur pour ce type de travail et brodez quelques rangs de frise.

Thanks for any help.

embroidery design

Literally, it is a frieze to embroider and not a border to embroider. It is the stitching to hold the smocking gathers in place and it does not have to be on the borders.

frieze - 2: a sculptured or richly ornamented band (as on a building) 3: a band, line or series suggesting a frieze (Webster's)

4. Thread the machine with the selected embroidery thread. Insert EnVision card #8 into the machine. Select Pattern #2, the balloons. Or select a design to coordinate with your choice of dress fabric... Stitch embroidery design in the center of the smocked design.

embroidery border

Hello

In French, the verb *friser* means to *skim*.
The noun is *frise". In a textile context, it would mean *border*

*broder* means *to embroider*.

*à* means *the reason* or *purpose*

Thus, a border is intended to be embroidered

Let me say this again:

A border that is intended or meant for embroidering.

That is tough to say: embroidery border
A real tongue twister!!!!!!
