That's evil, using algebra. LOL! I only recently told my children I haven't
had to use algebra since I left school (really I have but I won't admit to
it)
Measure the width of the lace. That's X.
Measure the width of the fabric. That's Y.
Each side must have Y + 2X length of lace.
Total
Dear friends
Since I've finished the garter in time I'm hoping to make a handkerchief
for the groom's Mum (What do mothers do at weddings?!!) and have to
confess that after 7 and a bit years of lace making I haven't ever
joined lace to a piece of fabric. I'd appreciate it if someone could
advise
Hello Viv
Measure the side of the hankie and the width of the lace. You need 4
times the width of the hankie PLUS 8 times the width of the lace -
absolute minimum. Round up so that you have an even number or repeats,
and preferably a multiple of four.

Okay, you lost me on that one. Can you go through the math again slower?
It seems like one or the other but why both measurements?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge :D

Once the lace is attached the total width of the hankie is fabric plus
two widths of lace. Multiply that by four and you get 4 times the
width of the fabric plus 8 times the width of the lace.
So if your hankie is, say, 10 x 10 and the lace is 1.5 wide the
overall size of the finished

I got back to Viv off list but thought I would wade in
after all. The simplest way, which may not appeal to
everyone I admit, is to have gathered corners, and you
only need to make the length of each side, and a bit
extra to make sure the lace will go around the corners
sitting flat.
Just another

I think that Brenda has been talking about gathering round the corners all
along, not mitreing, as it's easier and quicker to do neatly.
Rochelle, if you think about it, the bit extra to make sure the lace will go
around the corners sitting flat. has to be enough so the lace goes past the
end
Basically, the lace has to extend beyond each end of each side of the
fabric by the amount of the lace's width. That's because the lace on
side A sticks out by that much, so the lace on side B must be long
enough to get to the outside edge of the lace on side A.
Measure the width of the lace.
