One way to secure the ends when cutting lace yardage is to stitch across the width where you want to cut it, then stitch a second row a centimeter away. Cut between the two rows of stitching. There's no chance of raveling past the stitching.
If the end of the lace will be exposed when used, the stitched end can be rolled under in a little hem. The stitching will stabilize the end of the lace. Definitely don't use Fray Check. It yellows.

Now to get the contractor to clean up his mess. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Helen Bell" <[email protected]> Lora, Just cut the lace - it's hard to take scissors to your lace in that way, but that's what they used to do on cutting off day. - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
