If I mount by machine I use a narrow zig-zag with the distance of the
lengthways holes about the same as the distance from one side to the
other - similar spacing to the hand sewn triangular stitch but on a
smaller scale than I can manage by hand!

To avoid cutting the threads of the lace, it might help to
use a "stretch" (ball-point) needle, and use a slightly-open
zig-zag. Slightly-open is more secure anyhow; when you try
to lay threads exactly side-by-side, the holes punched into
the cloth come perilously close to overlapping.
