If it's the relative tension of the headside and footside of a point ground or
similar lace that makes a pricking with a corner at 90 degrees produce lace
where the corner isn't, then this may be the same factor that makes a straight
length of Bucks have a ruffled headside when the footside is laid straight -
"twippering" being a traditional term. I personally think it helps the
appearance of the lace if it is used on something, rather than laid it flat for
photography. Of course, I would say that, as that's what happens to mine...
As noted in a previous posting, this was thought a common occurrence in Bucks
point, and a traditional solution was said to be to use half stitch and twists
not whole stitch and twists at the footpin - Alexandra Stillwell's experiments
showing it doesn't always work!
