I always hand sew my lace onto fabric. I usually use the four-sided stitch, and work 2 rows of it - the first row into the lace edge, and the second row with the excess fabric folded over,. then I justtrim away the excess.
I used the Satin stitch type mounting once, on a doily, and the lace, after about 28 years of wear and machine washing, is still firmly fixed to the fabric! Not being very good, or interested in learning/practicing, in using the sewing machine, I prefer to mount by hand, but if you are skilled with the sewing machine then do a zigzag stitch to mount. I have seen some mounting done that way, and it was very neat. Regards from Liz in Melbourne, Oz - where we are actually receiving a few showers today!
