What the AI looks for in Sewing Lace

Lace type: Chantilly is fine and delicate, for overlays. Alençon has a corded outline, for bridal. Venise or guipure is free-standing, for appliqué. Cotton eyelet is for casual, washable wear. The lace type sets drape, durability and how the edge is finished.
Stretch vs rigid: Use stretch lace with spandex content for lingerie, waistbands and knits. Rigid lace on a stretch garment pops seams or restricts movement.
Edge finish: Choose scalloped or picot-edged lace when the edge will be exposed. Straight-cut lace edges need hemming and look unfinished.
Fiber and care: Cotton lace can shrink, so prewash it. Nylon and polyester lace hold color and shape through washing. Unwashed cotton lace puckers after the first laundering.
Width and repeat: Buy enough length to match the pattern repeat across seams. Mismatched motifs at joins are very noticeable on hems and veils.
