Hi There, P/P……….I enjoyed your M6695 video.   Found a couple nice laces….both are white, but quite different in pattern/texture.  Bought an ever-so-slightly off-white, semi-sheer crepe for the lining.  But I found the ‘wrong side’ of the lining to have a very interesting, subtle, irridescent effect beneath the lace and I’m going to give it a go.

My question is how to best wrestle with delicate lace.   It’s stretchy, curls on the edges, won’t sit still on the cutting table and generally exhibits delinquent behavior.  After pre washing/drying it took me an hour to iron out the edges and was not completely successful.  I’m wondering how you tame this stuff??  I’m really wondering if it will hate my machine as much as it apparently does me?   Perhaps it’s just patience and practice?   I’m going to do the A dress and make it somewhat longer.
