Sue,
I usually use tacking stitches to add lace to garments so they are easily
removed and can be reused on other garments. I do leave them on for washing
and
usually only remove them once the garment is not at its best and headed to use
for "not for best" wear. In your case, as suggested, yo
want to attach it rather than make it
multi-use.
Happy lace making,
Joepie.

Hi Sue and spiders,
Do you want to use this modesty panel for this top only? . Looking forward

The first time and only time I have worn this top, so far I tucked my hand
made lace hanky but found that lace on its own didn't lay well and as I
moved about so did it so what I am doing with this piece is to attach it to
the top so it stays there. I believe that it will wash well, folded into
Another option, aside from buttons, is little plastic snaps. In yard goods
stores you can find little transparent snaps. They are about 1/4 in in
diameter, transparent and colorless. So they virtually disappear. But they
would hold a modesty panel quite well with much less bulk than a button.

Hi Sue and spiders,
Do you want to use this modesty panel for this top only? What about washing?
I would rather make two -strong- loops with buttons at the top at either end
so that I could fasten that around my bra straps. That way it can be washed
separately and can be used under other garme
Hi Sue,
I'd hand pick the seam in the "ditch". Hand picking is a spaced back stitch.
If you did it in the seam of the neck binding it'd be pretty unobtrusive. A
blind stitch in the edge of the binding would work as well. Will you have to
remove the lace to launder the top?

I have been hand sewing a small piece of lace to some cotton fabric and
getting it ready to put into the neckline of a top. I was wondering if it
might look like something just put there rather than blend as nicely as I
wanted it to, but looking at it pinned into place I am really quite pleased
