I had the good fortune to hear Kaethe Kliot talk about laundering linens with 
lace.  As an example she had an enormous banquet cloth with a wide lace edging 
all around.  Kaethe's method is thus:
 
Wash the item.  Dry it stretched out as much as possible.
Iron the lace.  Last, iron the fabric to suit the lace.   
And NOT,  Kaethe emphasized, the other way around.
