My first question is, how did you come to be working in both directions? I realize this is not critical to the answer to your question, but it does make me wonder!
One way to deal with the situation is to work beyond the "joining" point with both sets of threads. After you have lifted the lace from the pillow and overlapped the matching pieces of lace, you join the two layers together with the "Lassen" technique. The only other option I see for you is to tie off and weave all those threads back through... but you'll definitely see the join because it will be thicker on both sides. I think "Lassen" would be the best option. But you'd have to find a path that does not include leaves!!
