Vila You can make the first strip, then as you make the 2nd make sewings onto the first one using a crochet hook or similar tool. This is elegant, but you are going to have those long strips draped over your work table and pillow the whole time you are working. And as the tablecloth widens, there will be more and more completed lace draped over the table. If you have animals in your home, this could be courting disaster. The longer a large lace tablecloth is draped over a pillow and work table, the more opportunities for inquisitive critters to jump into the middle of things.
Or you can do all the strips, then sew them together with needle and thread. Most of us hate this kind of finishing, but I think your tablecloth will stay cleaner and you risk less damage as the lace is being made. Or you can do what the previous respondent said and sew the strips together with a crochet hook after they are all made. Any of these solutions will work. I don't really think one is more correct than another. They all have pros and cons. Think it through and select a solution that you think will work best for you.
