edging

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'it goes round' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'some hemmed gingham' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'EDGING' can be found hidden inside 'hemmed gingham'.

Can you help me to learn more?
