Hello Nancy
I doubt if glue would be very satisfactory for holding lace together.
A tiny bit to stop ends from coming unknotted is one thing but you'd
need a big blob to make unattached threads stay together.
What I would do in this case is thread a needle, either with the lace
thread or a finer version of the same colour, and take the needle
through either side of where the lace should be attached and then tie a
reef knot with the two ends of the needle thread - and then darn each
end in.
A similar trick can be used if you have missed working the corner
crossings in rose-ground; best done whilst still on the pillow. Just
pass a fine thread under the two pairs which should have been worked
together and tie a knot on top. Use a threaded needle or a crochet
hook to get teh thread under. Once the lace is off the pillow the ends
can be darned in. Much less noticeable than unworked corners.

arent? There are a couple of places in my square where I could see
that it
should have joined on to another bit but is just hanging loose!
