I'm looking for advice. I hope there's someone on the List who has done this. My friend is just finishing the lace for a jacket. She's trying to figure out the best way to line it when it's done. The lace sections do contract a bit when the lace is off the pins so the pricking is a bit larger than the finished lace. Should she use the lace or the pricking for her lining pattern? If she traces the actual lace, she will need to add seam/hem allowance. Perhaps the shrinkage of the lace would mean the pricking is large enough for seams/hems, thus eliminating the need to trace the lace.
She's planning to use flat feld seams so there's no raw edges. And she expects to hand baste the lining to the lace along the seams and around the edges. The lace does have some large-ish spaces so she thinks a lining is necessary. Comments and/or suggestions are welcome. Thanks so much.
