I'm still trying to figure out how to handle the tulle in a frame .
I use an embroidery frame which has rollers. I sew the net to the tape on the 'rolling ends' and use a cloth tape/grosgrain ribbon or the like, which gets pinned to the net and wrapped around the other sides of the frame. It's hard to explain, but you pin to the net, wrap around the frame, pin, wrap, etc. That's how my Coggeshall lace teacher showed us how to do it. And I've seen another Coggeshall lace teacher's work and she doesn't attach the sides at all.
Instead of a stand to hold the frame, I take a leaf out of my dining room table and lay the frame over the opening. Works like a charm!
