border, edging, trim

-- according to Gyldendals Ordbøger.

Some kind of trimming or edging, often decorative.

You could perhaps call it the edge if your text is the instructions for cutting out the material: cut strips for the frill (flæse) along the edge or border of the main piece.

(Here I am guessing wildly, so please ignore if it does not fit.)
