Thanks for that bit of advice, Sue.  Hadn't thought about  it creasing so the
fold wouldn't come out after being pressed.  Do you think that will be a
problem?  I've kept it on a roller as I made it.  I've sewn the garter
together so short of putting it around something quite large- 30"- then it
will have a fold of some kind while being transported.  DD decided she didn't
care for the idea of a tied garter, fearing it coming untied sometime during
the day so my plan is to enclose elastic in blue ribbon to run through the
center.  Hopefully if it's folded with padding in between the folds so they
are not hard, all will be okay.

pictures, I failed to put in the url for mine.  Must be this headcold I'm
trying to beat.

  Congratulations on finishing the lace - another very pretty piece. I'm sure
  it will be much appreciated.

  Just one small suggestion: cover a cardboard tube with a clean piece of
  fabric, and wrap the lace round that rather than folding the lace. You don't
  want it to get creased from the journey
