[lace] lace sizing

[Sue]

I am putting together elements of lace pattern to use as a 
decoration/covering around the centre of a bauble shape and maybe an egg 
shape.   If I want to join the start to the end (although this might be 
difficult because it will only be about 7 inches and I dont use the roller 
pillows), my question is what percentage extra lace might I want to work in 
addition to the actual size of the bauble, so it slides into place without 
distorting the lace or without it being so loose it looks messy and then 
maybe to dampen the lace so it clings where I want it to stay.   I hope this 
makes sense.
