A friend who has now given up lacemaking has given me a couple of prickings
for handkerchief edgings. Can anyone who makes edgings for hankies tell me
what they do about getting the right size of linen material to fit the
prickings. Do you buy them ready made and if so who supplies them, or do
I simply take nice men's hankies and cut them to fit the edgings. I do a
tiny rolled hem on the edges before I attach the lace to give myself a firm
stitching surface that will not unravel.

It's much easier to alter the linen to fit the lace, than the lace to fit
the linen. So work the lace, and then cut the linen to fit.
I either buy fabric - or sometimes a men's white handkerchief. These can be
large enough for the centre to fit the lace. You can also buy handkerchief

plastic, but based on a crocheted blanket! There is a story behind the design
but she seemed to want to produce something that looked like
Jean, I have seen these mats all over Europe sold as hand made from
wherever they happen to be and I am of the opinion that they are of
Asian origin and probably made for pennies in some sweat shop which is a

It depends. Do these prickings have corners? I usually work edgings
without corners and buy a hankie blank. Then I work enough lace to go
around the blank slightly gathering the lace at the corners to make the
turns. But then my prickings aren't usually more than 3-4 inches long
so I have to
Hi Ann,
Most of the people I've talked to say that it's easier
to fit the linen to the lace than the lace to the
linen.
