Thank you Leonard! Light bulb ON--starting at the bottom, the lace folds back upon itself at the end of the row & steps up slightly to make the next row of appliqued lace. Each new row of lace covers the sewing details of the previous row. This didn't make sense until you specified that the lace must be double-sided. Front & back won't do! Am I given to understand that you are using a strip of Elizabethan metallic lace to cover the placket of the dress shirt? Appliqued on, then further secured by way of the studs? Ladies' blouses often have fancy buttons or button covers, but wouldn't this be way more cool? Buttons could easily fit through holes in a very open pattern of plaits & picots. Thank you so much for sharing your idea!! Oh my, oh my--what about a little metallic/wire lace motif on the toe of a shoe, edge of a glove, flap of an envelope evening bag etc. etc.?
