I am definately going to have to try this method for one of them now:-)
Also I assume that a washed and pressed hanky and a gently steamed piece of
lace will make them sit better ongoing too, as discussed for the napkin
strips last year.

Brenda makes a good point, for those making a lace square and planning on
getting fabric to fit it. However, if you make straight lace and gather the
corners (the only way (I've bothered to make hankies), pre-made
handkerchiefs are nice. You make the lace, attach it, and you're done. You
don't have to then cut the fabric and hem it (something I find tedious).
