Hello forum.
We got a job to produce and install a vinyl awning and I'm not sure how we can finish the edges to make it look like the attached image.

Thank you.

That is called a valance and you need to make a pattern out of hardboard, metal or pvc. Layout your material and trace pattern on with water soluble pen or stabilo. Cut out pattern on material with scissors. Then to finish it off a cotton strip that gets sewed on around the edge.
Better to take to an awning company that have right sewing machine and let them finish it off for you.
If it is red vinyl material you can paint white strip with vinyl screen ink from NazDar thinned with their reducer.

This is the roller bottle to make your white strips, you can lay a straight edge to make your lines. You have to thin the paint so it flows out evenly. Practice before attempting because you only get one chance. You do not want to be trying to fix mistakes on awning with vinyl ink. I don't know who carries these rollers
