Dear Hannah, I haven't seen an answer to your query yet on the list. Has anyone contacted you privately? If you haven't heard an answer yet, it may be because we're all in a bit of a quandary how to answer. You don't make it clear whether you are asking for advice on how to attach machine-made lace to handkerchief blanks, or how to make the lace itself. The former could be done in a few weeks; the latter is most unlikely--first, because it takes most people some time to learn the skills to make the simplest laces, and second, because most laces take quite some time to make, even when the skills are mastered.
If you already knew how to make the laces, and you used very simple laces, you could make a few hankerchief borders, and attach the borders to the centers, in a couple of weeks--but it would probably take many hours each day! Then, too, we're not sure what kind of lace you mean. Bobbin lace, tatting, needle lace, crochet, knitted? If you could explain the purpose of these handkerchiefs, we might be able to advise you of a do-able alternative to "homemade".

I have been asked to make some hankerchiefs with lace edgings. She needs them in a couple of weeks and I do not have the funds or time to send off after professional ones so need to make my own. I have never done this before and could use any help you can give me. Thank You Hannah Moad SW.
