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.

Subject: [lace] Fixing lace to a background

I have just be studying my copy of “Tatting Artistry in Threads” by Helma
Siemann, and see that she has glued her multitude of Josephine Knots etc, to
Art board, to form the pictures (which are lovely) Is this an acceptable way
of fixing tatting to a background – and would it be accepted by a Judge in a
competition?

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 people’s thought on it- especially if you are
a Judge at Shows!
