edging on a tule veil

Jhooster | Posted in Techniques on

My daughter would like this lace along the edge of her veil.  Any ideas on how to attach it in a manner that would show the join the least amount?  The main tule is the same weight and netting size as the edging.  
Thanks!

    Maybe find a tiny trim similar to the outermost edge of the lace and put it overd the seam between the tulle and the lace. Or even better, get enough of the edging lace to gather it onto the tulle and make a ruffle? It won't be easy. Good luck, hope the wedding isn't real soon!

    I did something similar on my daughter's veil. Lap the lace over the tulle with a strip of water soluble embroidery stabilizer between the two fabrics, I used an embroidery scallop stitch to sew the two together, which essentially gave a wide seam like a flat-felled seam with the stress spread over more fabric width.. Then *before* dissolving the stabilizer, trim the excess tulle and lace edges with embroidery scissors (the smooth stabilizer will minimize the problem of the scissors snagging the bottom fabric of tulle or lace) and then blot away the stabilizer. Tedious, but it worked.
