Quilters use a design wall to arrange blocks before sewing them together. This is made with a heavy-weight flannel, and it holds the light-weight pieces of fabric without pins or adhesives. I am sure it would work very well for lace too. The fabric for design walls is sold in quilt shops and by mail order (google quilting supplies). It comes in various sizes. I think it's always a "natural" color, but could probably be dyed, but you'd have to be sure the color was set so it doesn't bleed onto the lace. I'd be judicious about where I would use this kind of display. There is an advantage to having the lace attached to the display surface!! (It will not walk away as easily!!)
