Options for placing lace on the tablecloth
- Narrow stripes - edges of the edges. Sew along the perimeter of the overhangs of the tablecloth.
- Stripes sewn onto the fabric and forming a pattern .
- Lacy medallions . Finished lace elements are sewn onto pre-designated sections of the fabric.
- Lacy binding of fragments (motifs) of the tablecloth. At the same time, we make workpieces from the main material, we sew or tie them with lace, then we sew them together into a single whole.
Advice! If you can’t make a classic frame around the perimeter of the product, then trim it with lace ribbons.
The choice of lace for tablecloth decor
Types of lace trim:
Actually, lace is made using bobbins or using a needle. This is a difficult manual work. It can be made in meter or individual parts of various shapes. Sewed onto fabric or sewn into pre-fabricated fabric holes. Overhangs are rarely used around the perimeter due to their cost and high consumption of this type of finish.
Crocheted in various techniques. Be it fillet knitting, openwork knitting or individual motifs - squares.
Crocheted tablecloth crochet
Embroidery with cut out areas - "Richelieu" .

Decor options from provence to classic
- Provence. The combination of lace medallions with ribbons of lilac, lilac, lavender flowers. Tablecloths are often stitchy, combining several shades of the same color.
- Baroque. Feel free to take lace with gold threads or dark, bright.
- Country. Kitchen in this style does not imply a riot of color. A tablecloth of rough unbleached linen or burlap is finished with white lace inserts or valances.
- Vintage. Did you manage to get some “grandmother's” lace, for example, an old Richelieu, or sirloin crochet? These elements on the tablecloth will give a special look to your kitchen.
- Classic. Light lace on the overhang of the tablecloth. Strict lines, geometric ornament. The classic style attracts with its cleanliness.
Depending on the position on the panel, as well as on the nature of the lace itself, the work will differ:
Crochet
If you know how to knit and are not afraid of monotonous work, then a crocheted model is for you.
1. The tablecloth is sewn around the perimeter with a wide zigzag stitch, then we start to knit the pattern we like on the resulting loops.
- We calculate how much knitted lace we need. The fabric must be moistened and ironed before measurement.
- Choose a motive for knitting.
- We knit a ready-made clearance.
- We bend the edge of the tablecloth.
- Ironing.
- We hem in a convenient way.
- We put our knitting on the front side.
- We take it.
- Sew on machine line.
- Iron through a damp cloth.
Important! Check first if your thread is shed. To do this, moisten them, then iron them on a light cloth. They must not be stained, otherwise the threads cannot be used.
We create a tablecloth from motives
We determine how much openwork inserts will occupy .
We make them (cut, knit or weave).
Sheathed with finished openwork stripes:
- We measure out the required amount of tape, taking into account the corners.
- If the fabric is rough, then you can not tuck it, but only overlay the edges.
- We pin the braid with pins, at the corners we leave a “loop”. We start from one corner.
- We hide the excess fabric of the corners in a crease on the underside of the braid. A straight line should remain on the face.
- We reach the place from which it all began.
- We hide the end of the tape in a crease at the corner.
- We lay the machine line, if necessary, pretreat.
- The line can be made double, but this is optional.
- We iron the product.
In whatever style decision the interior of your house is made, there is always a place for a lace tablecloth in it.
