In my experience with invisible thread, it works well on pieces that are
heavy by nature, and therefore do not have much drape - for instance, in
applique quilting. Even then, the thread ends always seem to manage to
escape and are like little barbs on the back of your work... and very
hard to tame. So, I would think that on something as light as a lace
handkerchief or a veil edging or any other edging in lace, the invisible
thread would take on a life of its own and would be a real detriment to
the overall effect. I've never tried it - this is just my guess - but
I'm pessimistic.
