Diagram of tab edge ("bleeding heart edging")

Begin at red circle, closed with a sl st (left out). After you make the circle, do the 6-ch turning chain at left, and continue from there. Notice where the tab connects to a V-st, there is no turning chain on that side.
Little circles are ch stitches. Black ovals are sl st's. Crosses are dc's. Ovals are long picots. x's are sc's. That's all it takes to make this appealing edging.

Corrections welcome.
