allegorymax,
you haven't mentioned if you're using tape or glue. If you use glue you may want to think about getting a lace cleaning gun (a textile gun) in the future. You don't see them mentioned much here on the forum but I think they're one of the nicest things to have. Glue gets trapped in the little lace holes and sometimes it's a real pain to get out. The lace gun blows a jet of water through the lace and forces the hardened stuff out.

I was a hell bent believer in glue, but I've been experimenting with tape and the cleanup is SO much easier. I'm currently using the Walker No-Shine and Sunshine Stick-it and both have been giving great results.

These are just things to consider from one newbie to anohter!
