What is this lace fabric best suited for?

Lace is perfect for lingerie, tops, blouses, dresses, skirts and bridal details. Thanks to the open structure, it also works beautifully as an overlay or accent (e.g. sleeves, back panel or bodice).

Is lace see-through?

Yes, lace is often partly sheer. How sheer it looks depends on the pattern and color. For more coverage, add a lining or base fabric.

Do I need a lining?

That depends on your design. For bodices, skirts or projects where you want less transparency, a thin lining is recommended. For sleeves and accents, lace often looks best without lining.

Which needle and stitch should I use?

For stretch lace, use a stretch/jersey needle (70–80). Sew with a stretch stitch or small zigzag, or finish with an overlocker. Always test on a small scrap first.

How do I cut and handle lace neatly?

Use sharp scissors or a rotary cutter and keep the fabric as flat as possible. If your lace has a scalloped edge, you can use that edge as a beautiful finish. Pin carefully or use pattern weights to prevent shifting.

Can I iron lace?

Only if needed and always on a low heat. Iron from the wrong side with a pressing cloth. Avoid high heat, especially when elastane is present.
