What is a lace inset?

Q:  What is a lace inset and how is it made?


A:  A lace inset is a piece of lace set into fabric as a decoration or trim.  The edges of the lace are sewn onto the base fabric, sometimes with a decorative stitch.  The base fabric behind the lace inset can then be trimmed away to create a lace inset window.  It is an intricate process that takes the skilled hands of an expert seamstress to create.
