My mistake - it wasn't sewn to fabric. It was placed flat and the angle measured - so ignore the bit about sewing to fabric. Yes, the wider the lace, the more correction will be required, whichever approach is taken. 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. A good test. This is what the lacemaker did for the point ground examples in the OIDFA article. FWIW the grid angle seems to be 52 in the two examples. The lace pattern which was tested is 6 cm. wide. I should also clarify that she did her tests based on the work by another lacemaker who made corrections for Rauma Torchon edgings with corners. I am not familiar with Rauma Torchon, to know why the corners would not be strictly on the diagonal, as I would expect Torchon to be.
