If your Bucks grid has a working angle of 58 degrees you can make five
corners for a pentagon shape or if it has a working angle of 60 degrees
six corners will make a hexagon. Otherwise you have to cut and paste
and do all sorts of odd things or design a proper Bucks corner which
takes the cloth stitch/gimps etc right across all the ground from the
headside to the footside.
That's the reason why traditional Bucks point does not usually have
corners, instead a straight edging is gathered around a corner.

Thanks Sue,
I had recognised that fact from the obvious different look along the
short sides of the rectangle to the long, but I thought it was just me
and was hoping that it could work right by using another grid (apart
from 45 deg). I was hoping to make this as a bucks point pattern
without having to cut paper and use sticky tape. Because I had the
short length right (with the funny shaped grid, I now need to rework
that out to fit the space I have). I wish I was better at maths,
<grin>. I will get there eventually, I like it too much to give up
now.
I did change the pattern to a couple of other different numbers of
grid with no better success. Sue T, Dorset UK

You can't print a rectangular Bucks pattern on one grid - as you have
discovered when you turn the corner the grid angle will change. If
you were
working at 52 degrees then having turned the corner it will be 90-52
degrees
ie 38 degrees. The corner will need to be carefully designed to
transition
from one to the other.
You will need to print one of the correct strips with a corner - and
physically cut and paste as needed.
