2) Explore alternatives for securing the trim. Instead of basting or pinning before you sew, try a fusible adhesive spray such as 606 Spray and Fix. This aerosol spray turns any fabric, trim, or stabilizer into a fusible product. Just spray, allow it to dry 2 to 3 minutes, and then fuse it with an iron set to medium heat. Practice before you try this technique on a garment.
3) Sew the trim in place. Stitch around the edges of the trim, using a straight stitch.

Voila! Your garment is embellished, and you can go on to do more projects with lace... like sewing it into a custom top (explained in SewStylish Spring 2012) or crafting tiny lace remnants into delicate earrings, as explained in the post Make Lace Earrings here on SewStylish.com.
