Hi Sue, Are you talking about designing with Lace R-XP? If so, do you have Ruth's book? Page 24-25 will answer your questions re turning the corner :) (Discovered this at a workshop recently...it really works! )

It is working up quite pretty, rather than just OK, so that is nice to see. I made up a corner pattern which is one quarter of the pattern, printed it off twice and thats coming on fine, by the time all the pins are away from the join, I can take it off and they both get used twice. What I have found is that because I have flipped the pattern strip to fit at the corner, I have the working lines going in opposite directions, therefore when I get to the centre side join I found the change. I have ignored those lines and worked them all the same, so guess I need to learn not to flip the pattern in that way, for the future. Also, having got this far with my hanky I am thinking about working a garter, this time the complete width and in nice crisp cotton, using the shirring elastic I know some of you use, but wondered if between you all there are some really favourite elements you always use, or do you choose to do them all differently (obviously that last question for those who have done more than one). At the moment I am thinking of what I might put in before I try putting some bits together on the program. I am bound to have missed something but may remember later.
