Hi Susan: Many years ago I made a cloth banner. With help from a quilter friend, I made a backing that was bigger than the banner by a couple of inches on all sides. That extra fabric from the backing was folded in half and then folded over the edge onto the front side and stitched down by hand. I think this is the same way they make the pronkrols. The technique makes a nice neat edge and also since the edge is thicker the lace samples in the pronkrol would be protected. The only tricky bit is making a mitred corner at the edges, but if you can find an experienced quilter I’m sure they can show you the way.
