Another tip to add to all the advice so far - if, when you are in the museum/gallery/display place and confronting the lace piece, chances are it is behind glass. Some cameras have a 'museum setting' to help the focus 'see' past the glass. Whether or not your basic camera has such a setting, check that your reflection isn't going to be part of your composition. You might have to move slightly, or hold the camera at an angle. It might be that low light is an advantage, if you can use the timed exposure feature, and avoid reflected images on the glass.
