Description:
Follow the links above for explanation of how to work the different parts of the lace.
The diagonal start is easier with false starting pins, which are provided. The pattern is made of two parts, with the pillow turned halfway through - see making a triangle shape, from corner. The start and the finish make a straight line. This is what is sewn onto the fabric.
I haven't sewn on this example myself, but the photo below gives an idea of what it might look like.
