Why????
If was good enough to use on the garment when you thought it was
machine
made, what makes it not suitable now you know it's handmade? Or why
would you
want to spend hundreds of hours to make the piece of lace you already
have?
Libra speaking here... :) Make a pricking of the lace, if you really,
really like it; maybe, one day, you'll make some of it. Meanwhile, use
what you have as you had intended originally. Jacquie is absolutely
right; it seems wasteful to have all this nice -- but not exceptional
-- quality lace on hand and keep it locked in a drawer somewhere.
