Another thing to bear in mind is that often the premade hankies with the entredot <sp> edging are not always square. This didn't stop me making quite a few wedding hankie edgings for blank hankies I purchased in Germany. I made the pricking very slightly larger than the actual hankie and eased the fabric along the sides and corners to make the lace fit. I don't think anyone noticed and the premade holes make it a lot easier to sew onto, especially for a sewing klutz like me. When it came to my daughters wedding hankie which had lace that went into the fabric at the corners, I had that one professionally mounted by hand. Don't ask me where but it was done in Belgium.
