Use DMC heirloom sewing machine thread when doing this for real and needle size#60, #65 or #70.
For the sample I will just be using normal sewing thread so you can see it easy in the photos and it will be a contrasting color for the same reason.
prep work
- Cut 1 piece of lace and one piece of fabric the same length
- Prep by starching and pressing both (using clean iron, and clean board, also use spray starch)
W=3.0-4.0
L = 0.5
- place right sides together with the lace being 1/4 to 1/8 of an inch away from the edge of the fabric
- using zig zag stitch stitch over the edge of the fabric and the edge of the lace" the header".
- press towards fabric
