Clarify, please. When making a hanky, and putting lace on four sides of a square evenly, each finished corner would have the lace sewn on at 90 degrees. How can you have a finished square corner with 81 degrees? The amount of 'stretch' in a pattern and/or thread could affect how much extra, added to the 90 degrees, would be needed for a flat application. The Rauma lace book used 3 degrees extra, but I can understand that a different lace/pattern could take more. 103 degree corner would flatten out quite a bit of ruffle when pulled in to 90 degrees on the fabric. I guess a person could test this by making a hanky edging with each corner at a different angle, then see which corner lay flattest. Hmmm...I have some hanky edges to make. This could be an interesting experiment to spice up a routine project.
