But having said that, I do appreciate that not all bobbin lace makers do not have the desire, or the necessary needlework skills, to make a good job of attaching lace to fabric by hand, and I prefer to see neat machine stitching to uneven and puckered hand sewing. I canât imagine though how you envisage using an iron-on backing to attach lace to fabric. Do you mean using something like Bondaweb to effectively glue a lace motif onto fabric? What would happen to all the bits of glue in the holes of the lace and around the edges? Apart from looking ugly surely it would gunge up your iron.
