FAQs
Is this lace stretchy?
This fabric is primarily stable due to the cotton/nylon blend and construction, making it ideal for structured garments.
Do I need to line this fabric?
Yes, due to the openwork nature of the lace, an opaque lining is recommended for modesty.
Can I use this for a full skirt?
While possible, it is best used as an overlay on a solid fabric to highlight the intricate corded details.
How should I finish the raw edges?
The fabric features scalloped edges on both sides, which can often be used as a self-finished edge for sleeves or hemlines.
What kind of thread works best?
Fine, high-quality polyester thread is recommended to match the strength and color of the nylon content.
Troubleshooting
Fabric is snagging on the sewing machine needle
Switch to a new, sharp universal or microtex needle and ensure the throat plate is not worn.
Lace edges are fraying after cutting
Apply a tiny amount of fray-check or use a zigzag stitch along the raw edges immediately after cutting.
Stitches are puckering
Reduce your thread tension slightly and ensure you are using high-quality polyester thread.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your lace project, use sharp, fine needles to prevent pulling the delicate fibers. It is recommended to use a lightweight interfacing on areas requiring structural integrity, such as button plackets or cuffs.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Hand wash gently in cool water with mild detergent to preserve the corded texture.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry; do not wring or twist the fabric as this can distort the lace pattern.
- Ironing: Use a low-heat setting and a press cloth to avoid melting the nylon fibers or flattening the corded details.
