The edging I am currently putting together a pattern for is about an inch
wide, the original print out I did would have allowed about a 7 inch hanky
inside, but I have copied and pasted a bit so it will now take about a 10
inch square piece and does seem better. I do have two pieces of each print,
so can play a bit more.
What I might do is try a couple of inches of any patterns I like, using
white thread and a little piece of blue edge and see what it looks like made
up. I dont want to ignore a pattern that might be very nice or make up
something I am unhappy with. You know how difficult it is to see the final
lace until it is made up. I dont want to end up storing it and doing
nothing with it.
No, they will not be allowed to blow noses onto it, I will supply some paper
tissues for that purpose, <grin>
Thank you for this extra insight.

I reckon the size of centre you need depends on two things:
1) the width of the lace edging to be put round it
and
2) how the hanky is intended to be used
A wide edging will need a smaller centre than a narrow one, otherwise the
whole hanky including wide edge would be inconveniently wide.
I hope you're not going to allow anyone to blow there nose on your precious
Have fun!
