Thanks for the question and thank you all for the answers. I didn't know the answer to this and will be using this information for this Christmas.

I'd base that answer as depending how well your machine behaves, particularly when doing lettering. A lot of machines need a fine tension adjustment with lettering to make sure the bobbin thread stays below the fabric.

A picture paints a thousand words.............or something like that! Spot on Gerry although, personally, I wouldn't go for the flowers for a bloke.

My handkerchiefs are all very old and designs(men or ladies) all point toward outside just like in your picture. some are the finest Irish linen of it's day. .

I think my head must be on backwards :) I'd call this example pointing inwards towards the centre :)

16707Depends if the hankie will be worn in a jacket pocket--and that doesn't happen much anymore--I don't think.? Anyway, I think it has always pointed toward the center.
