Jo Thanks for the ideas, both have potential. I found directions for a false footing at the top of a pattern in the Miniature Bobbin Lace book that I am going to experiment with. That might work with the zigzag corners.
I'm not sure how I'm going to go about this project yet, but the more options there are, the better chance I have of finding one that works for me.
