Regarding my question about removing fold lines from a Carrickmacross lace handkerchief, thanks to all who responded and I will reply to each of you individually. I will start by dabbing a **very** short length of the fold with distilled water and see how that works. Adele, special thanks for your detailed suggestion to use the weight of some books, and a dampened towel to help with the task. I expect this is what I will end up doing, and I will let you know how it works.
Someone suggested that handkerchiefs are made to be washed, and while that is generally true, I assure you these ones are not. In fact, I am now wondering if they are not handkerchiefs, but were intended as a doily to decorate a tabletop. If anyone put their runny nose close to this exquisite lace, or wiped their sweaty forehead with it, I would not want to be held responsible for my response!
