Dutch term or phrase: aanzet
used in a list of terms for a 'werkbeschrijving' for doll- and figuremaking (in this case, for a dragon). Used as follows:
aanzet vleugel
aanzet voorpoot
aanzet achterpoot
I've been told it is the 'plaats van bevestiging' on the doll, and I don't know whether one would describe this as a joint, or something else.
TIA!

Explanation:
From personal experience, these are given in the pattern and need to be marked on the material to ensure the legs etc are attached in the right position

thanks Kate and Adela - I've since been told the correct term is "(x) hole edge" as in "armhole edge" etc. This answer came the closest to that! Thanks again!
