    I’m 82 years old. I used to hemstitch by hand handkerchiefs for my beloved husband.
    Using handkerchief linen.
    Here’s what I learned:
    Linen is brittle. That’s why a century or so ago we read about “linen presses”. Which were heavy fabric covered pieces of lightboard; sized to the product size(s). These were for smaller pieces-napkins and handkerchiefs laid flat.
    Larger linens were beautifully ironed(with starch??) were put away rolled; if not directly placed on the bed. However, large homes of the landed gentry had special ways of handling their linens.
    I learned all this after my husband’s carefully ironed and folded 100% linen handkerchiefs began to break along the fold lines.
    Also, I was a weaver and studied fibers. Don’t know why I was so surprised when my husband.’s hankies fell apart.
    I’m 😊
