Where precisely must the hole for tzitzit be placed on the garment — how far from the edge?

Synopsis

The hole must be within a precise zone: no higher than 3 finger-widths from the edge (above that is not called 'corner') and no lower than a thumb-joint length from the edge (below that is below the corner). Rema clarifies the measurement is perpendicular, not diagonal.
