Thank you to all that replied - Betty Ann, Barb, Jacquie, Jane, Noelene and Robin (I hope I didn't miss anyone). I liked all the ideas. But, since the friend that I gave the lace to is most likely going to use it on some of her 1860s dresses or bonnets that she makes, I thought it wiser to avoid tape or fray check and just cut that lace off! I still have about 8 inches on the pillow and am not too worried about when I start working it again. I may have to secure the footside passives, but otherwise it went fine. I don't know why I was so nervous!
She absolutely loved the lace and now says she can't stand to use it; she wants to KEEP it. I told her that she should put it on something and when the garment wears out or she retrims the bonnet take the lace off and reuse it. That's what they did back then.
