French term or phrase: frise à broder
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 border


Explanation:
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!!!!!!
