I have been hand sewing a small piece of lace to some cotton fabric and getting it ready to put into the neckline of a top. I was wondering if it might look like something just put there rather than blend as nicely as I wanted it to, but looking at it pinned into place I am really quite pleased that it will look as if it was meant to be part of the garment:-) I am wondering about the most secure but unobtrusive way to hand sew it onto this knitted cotton jersey type material but will definatly have to be careful of my tension. I am very bad at sewing things too tight. My buttons are always sewn on tight enough to still be in place after the garment has fallen to bits, but I really want this to look right. I feel that I need to sew under the bound edge and then can maybe gently catch the top edges of the binding and secure that through the modesty panel as well. Any suggestions very welcome. I am about to post a picture into my Arachne photo album, so it can be viewed to help explain what I mean.
