                                                      Step 2 BEFORE STITCHING ON YOUR HANGER FABRIC, PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS FIRST.  Practice the “ROLL AND WHIP” method of joining flat lace to flat fabric on scrap material before attempting on your project. 1.  On the long side of your fabric and with right sides together, place the header of the lace about 1/8” away from the raw edge of the fabric, join the lace to the fabric using a short straight stitch [1.0 - 1.5].  Sew down the center of the lace header. Do not trim seam. Press seam on medium heat iron to set the stitches. 2.  Next, sew along this same seam with a short and narrow zig-zag stitch.  Adjust the zig-zag length shorter than normal (about 1.5 - 2.0, depending on your machine).  Adjust the zig-zag width to a narrow width (2.0 - 2.5, depending on the size of the header on your lace).   As you sew, the 1/8” of fabric should “roll over” and cover the header of the lace.  If it does not, adjust your width and/or length of the zig-zag settings so that it does.
