If you are entering a competition definitely check the rules. Our local Washington State Fair would have to disqualify the entry if it was glued in place. Both sides of the work must be visible. Another thing to consider is that glues usually discolor with age. And that would definitely be a very bad thing later.

I have only ever stitched lace to a fabric background, so am quite taken aback by this method, and am wondering if Show and Competition Judges would pass that method, - or would they disqualify the piece? Personally, I cannot see what is wrong with it, as the pieces will never be used, or removed from the setting, - so why not, -- but I wonder if it would be acceptable when up against other pieces for Judging. I would be interested in other peoples thought on it- especially if you are a Judge at Shows! Regards from Liz. L.
