I've recently decided to limit my use of pocket squares to the half dozen beautiful cotton battiste handkerchiefs I've inherited from my dad.
Too long have I been lured by the garishly coloured Sirens.

My goal isn't to sell to the fussy DressedWell/StyleForum members, ConchitaWurst ConchitaWurst . On one hand I applaud your fussiness, but the pitti-peacocks and non-serious dressers will open up their wallets to me and that makes sense in business. So, demount me all you like if it gives you satisfaction because I recognize you're just some guy on the internet making himself feel better by dragging me through the mud who will never shop with me anyway.

FriendCustomer, you're correct in that I ought to improve my technique and I will and have, recently I've started mitering my corners for a cleaner look, but for now this is a hobby that I am trying to capitalize on. I'm not claiming to be making things in a Naples dungeon.

As a cheapskate with some level of taste and discrimination, I get the market he's covering, and it's one that's not well-tapped. Last I checked, cheaper department stores have awful satin squares for $10-12. Kent Wang starts at more than double that, and prices rise from there. This shop fills the void between these options. Silk is a bit prissy for many men, and cheaper cotton handkerchiefs are just unpresentable.
Hand-rolling takes way more time and would cost more.
BTW, here's a place that no longer sells on Etsy doing something similar. Note the way he photographs them. Anyway, I ordered a linen one a year or two back and despite not really liking it, I find the "Pal- Marrow" contrast edge (scroll down a bit) to be a neat option for hemming/finishing more casual items. As best I can guess, it's done with a serging machine?

Arnathor Arnathor your product photography is below par. You should do better, as a photographer. Make them look more appealing. Now they look like scaled down tea towels.
 
How about a white/light lavender/light blue package? Please let me know.

I shared in another thread that I will be liquidating my pocket square collection, keeping perhaps 3 (white linen and I don't know what). so we are of a similar mind, if not inherited resources.

This is admirable, in a venture designed to make money as opposed to appeasing those on the internet.
 
You're right, I'm off to the right a little. I feel pretty silly.

For those interested: This is the seam with a rolled hem foot, this is about as close to the edge as I can get with a clean edge.
Horiziontally is the stitch length is set to 2, vertically it is set to 1.
View attachment 8527

Seams are pressed 1/8th of an inch and sewn as physically close as the foot and machine allow. The size on the foot is labelled 4, will check for a smaller foot.

These edges look WAY better than some of your other squares. They're also straight, which helps I think.
 
If I haven't mentioned it before, non-contrasting thread color is probably more worthwhile, although the narrower hem is nicer. I know full well what a hassle it is to change thread on a machine, but if it matches it is much less visible.
 
Solely my opinion, but in the above photo, despite the preferred delicacy of the narrower hem, the lilac one is better overall due to the coordinated thread color and the somewhat lower stitch count which somewhat serves to break up the visual line (I think it allows the fabric texture to not be so tightly "perforated" and tightly bound if that makes sense).
