Hello Susie and everyone Is the Torchon lace in linen? If it is black cotton, then try a dress weight cotton fabric, which would be easier to find than fine black linen. I think for the same reasons as home dyeing, black linen if you can find it doesn't stay black. Or you could go with a synthetic - there are linen-like polyesters in the dress fabric line that might be ok. Another thought to be quite unconventional and stitch the lace to a square of black vinyl - 'patent leather' (shiny black vinyl) even? The black would be relevant to the Heavy Metal, but for the R'n'R era, the hankies then, if not white, were printed fabric with the lace trim, so you could even go with a tiny black/white/gold print in a cotton (best place to check would be quilters' sources).
