I had to hand mount a largish oval edge recently. Using the pricking, I traced a slightly smaller oval onto a piece of tissue paper, tacked that to the fabric, then machine stitched along the traced oval line. I then tore the tissue paper away, and was left with a neat row of machine stitching on which to work my first row of pin stitch.
This method might work for a scalloped edge like the fertility hanky.

The mounting of the scalloped lace is something else - for me at least :-).
