Default Border how to

I don't have any links for you and I am sure the experts
here will come up with plenty of pointers for you. I have
only one suggestion - if the points (inny and outy) are
small would you consider sewing a facing on the edge? It
might reduce bulk on small points and keep them "pointier",
and if this is a wall hanging a facing should withstand any
normal wear-and-tear pretty well.
