Yes it is easy to use a strand of wire on the outer edge of bobbin lace to
stiffen a petal etc. The only problem comes when you wear it, the flower
can get squashed out of shape - particularly if the flower is being worn as
a corsage.
If you choose to use stiffener, make sure it is one that sets permanently -
you don't want it going limp on a humid day (or washing out in a sudden
downpour!!)

1. Can you make bobbin lace with a wire frame for stiffening?
and
2. Assuming stiffening lace with wire is possible, is this a better method
than painting a stiffener onto the lace while on the pillow?
