Hi,
I have been having an email conversation with an American friend and we discovered we have different terms for those gathered edge bits around the edge of a cushion/pillow.
Here in Australia, we call them frills. My friend, in America, refers to them as ruffles.
Odd question, I know, but what do you call them, and where are you from?
